Abstract
Super-resolution microscopy encompasses a suite of cutting edge microscopy methods able to surpass the resolution limits of light microscopy. The recent commercial availability of super-resolution microscopy is advancing many fields of biology. In this crystal ball forward look, we briefly examine the perspectives of combining super-resolution microscopy and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). We strongly believe, based on first evidence presented here, that using super-resolution microscopy in environmental microbiology has the potential to reshape the way we analyze the results obtained with FISH, by improving both the localization and quantification of target molecules.
