Single-molecule imaging has extended the resolution of fluorescence microscopy down to the nanometer scale. This superresolution technique is non-invasive, tolerates simple sample preparation, and takes advantage of well-developed labeling schemes. As a result, single-molecule imaging is especially powerful for studying structure and dynamics in live cells. Here, we focus on imaging live bacteria cells, with attention to the particular challenges that they present: these organisms are small, have short cell cycles, live in particular environments, and their organization is relatively poorly understood.
