Targeting, resolving and quantifying cellular structures by single‐molecule localization microscopy

The second ‘Single Molecule Localization Microscopy’ symposium was held in August 2012 at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland. During two and a half days, around 100 researchers from across the globe, and in disciplines spanning physics, biology, chemistry and computer science, gathered to discuss the developments in single‐molecule super‐resolution imaging and its applications to address important biological questions.
