"The spatial resolution of a microscope based on focusing optics is restricted by the Abbe diffraction limit. In their Communication A.V.Naumov, J.Köhler, and
co-workers show that far-field imaging and spectroscopy of a giant ensemble of single fluorescent molecules provides
structural information about the polycrystalline sample on a nanometer length scale, which is well below the Abbe limit. The
obtained image reveals clear correlations between the locations of the chromophores and their spectral properties."

"In this Colloquium, we discuss the main principles, achievements and perspectives in the field of highly parallel
luminescence spectroscopy and imaging of single molecules (SM) in transparent solids. Special attention will be given to SM
detection at low temperatures, where ultranarrow and bright zero-phonon lines (ZPL) of emitting centres are achievable for observation.
Frequency of ZPL can be used as an additional property for separation of multiple SM images within diffraction limited volume,
thus realising "multicolour" super-resolution microscopy. The extreme sensitivity of ZPL parameters to SM local environment allows
application of SM spectromicroscopy for the study of structure and dynamics of doped solids on the nanometre scale. We show that the
way to "bridge" the accidental rare events detected by SM probes to general material properties is a statistical analysis of spectral-spatial
data obtained by a separated detection of all effectively fluorescing dye centres in a bulk sample. First experimental realisation of
three-dimensional phononless luminescence SM spectromicroscopy with modification of SM point-spread function is demonstrated."
