A key property of photoactivatable labels for super‐resolution imaging is the number of photons emitted by each molecule. In their Communication on page 1723 ff., L. D. Lavis and co‐workers describe a new label for localization microscopy, caged Si‐Q‐rhodamine, which exhibits superior photon counts and emits sufficiently red‐shifted to allow multicolor imaging. This dye is a useful label for advanced imaging experiments and constitutes a new scaffold for red fluorogenic molecules.
