Leveraging advances in hardware and probes, we have combined innovations in optics and algorithms to allow automated single-molecule-based super-resolution imaging at unprecedented throughput. This approach allows us to obtain nanoscale information from large cell populations, bridging the gap between imaging and indirect ensemble methods.
