Summary:The cytoskeleton is a dynamic and diverse subcellular filament network, and as such microscopy is an essential technology to enable researchers to study and characterize these systems. Microscopy has a long history of observing the plant world not least as the subject where Robert Hooke coined the term "cell" in his publication Micrographia. From early observations of plant morphology to today's advanced super-resolution technologies, light microscopy is the indispensable tool for the plant cell biologist. In this mini review, we will discuss some of the major modalities used to examine the plant cytoskeleton and the theory behind them.
