Abstract

Super-resolution microscopy (SRM) is gaining popularity in biosciences; however, claims about optical resolution are contested and often misleading. In this Viewpoint, experts share their views on resolution and common trade-offs, such as labelling and post-processing, aiming to clarify them for biologists and facilitate deeper understanding and best use of SRM.
