There are biotech companies like Eikon Therapeutics (https://www.eikontx.com/ ) where super-resolution microscopy in living cells is a central part of the platform. There is also one widespread approach that isn't mentioned in the article: expansion microscopy. Expansion takes the scifi-sounding approach of: what if you could make your sample physically bigger? See the Wikipedia page for more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansion_microscopy |

1. Stephen Hell has been theorizing about how to do super-res microscopy since the mid-90s, so the article saying it was sci-fi "20 years ago" is off by about 10 years.
2. Stephen Hell has recently given the world another new technique, MINFLUX, which seems to be his best gift to super-res researchers so far. :)
