Found this showing the pixel patterns of some displays:

It has the iPhone 4 but not the retina Touch,
if you have a macro lens and tubes you should be able
to get a similar magnification by cropping.

Be interesting to see the results...
 
I don't know much about photography, but I think those were taken with a microscope.
 
Yep it is possible, you'd need something like a 200mm macro lens (i just tried it with 100mm macro), but those photos were either taken with a microscope or were just created digitaly on a computer.
 
If you use a macro lens with tube extensions and a 2x adapter should be suitable when cropped to pixel level.

Or reverse mount a 50mm on a macro would work as well.

Consider it a challenge :)
