Abstract
The recent revolution in optical fluorescence microscopy, supported by the optimization of both spatial resolution and acquisition speed, led to the ability to visualize nano-scaled objects. Currently, the use of a new generation of super-resolution fluorescence microscopes coupled to improved fluorescent probes gives the possibility to study the replicative cycle of viruses in living cells, at the single-virus and molecule level. In this review, after a brief chronological description of these new approaches, we highlight several examples of super-resolution microscopies that have allowed to revisit our understanding of several human viruses and of host-pathogen interactions.
