Super-resolution microscopy

Super-resolution microscopy is a type of microscope that uses special technology to look at objects that are too small to be seen with normal microscopes. Instead of using light to magnify the image like regular microscopes, super-resolution microscopes use tiny particles called fluorescent molecules. These molecules are added to the sample being studied and when a beam of light is shone onto them the molecules will light up and show us something that's much smaller than the size that regular microscopes could show us. This means that with a super-resolution microscope we can see things that are too small to be seen with regular microscopes, like viruses and cells inside a human body!
