Popis: Super-Resolution Microscopy (SRM) is emerging as a powerful and innovative tool for imaging, characterizing, and understanding the structure of Extracellular Vesicles (EVs). By addressing the need for single-particle analysis with the high resolution required to study the composition and organization of these nanoparticles, SRM provides unique insights into EV biology. However, its application is accompanied by significant challenges, ranging from experimental setup to data analysis. This review outlines the fundamentals of SRM and its position within the broader field of EV research. We then explore its applications in evaluating (i) the morphological structure of EVs, (ii) their molecular composition, and (iii) their roles in biological systems. By offering practical guidance and an overview of critical parameters for standardization, this review aims at providing researchers with the tools and insights necessary to effectively apply SRM to EV investigation.
