Abstract
We speculate that quantum electrodynamics near its conjectured ultraviolet-stable fixed point acts as a microscope of unlimited resolving power for short-distance interactions, in close analogy with monopole catalysis of proton decay. We illustrate this phenomenon analytically in the quenched ladder approximation by showing that a perturbatively nonrenormalizable parity-violating interaction becomes renormalizable at the fixed point.
