Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the key feature of the technology mentioned in the problem: the ability to fluorescently tag and track single molecules in a living cell.
Understand that traditional microscopes, such as two-photon and confocal scanning laser microscopes, have limitations in resolution that may not allow for the tracking of single molecules effectively.
Recognize that 'super-resolution' refers to a class of microscopy techniques that surpass the diffraction limit of light, allowing for much higher resolution imaging than conventional light microscopy.
Consider the context of the problem, which emphasizes new and innovative technology, suggesting a recent advancement in microscopy techniques.
Conclude that the term 'super-resolution microscopes' fits the description of the technology that allows for fluorescent tagging and tracking of single molecules in living cells, as it is designed to achieve higher resolution imaging.
