Summary The development of super‐resolution microscopy techniques using molecular localization, such as photoactivated localization microscopy, fluorescence photoactivated localization microscopy, stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy, photoactivated localization microscopy with independent running acquisition and many others, has heightened interest in molecules that will be grouped here into a category referred to as ‘optical highlighter’ fluorescent proteins. This review will survey many of the advances in development of fluorescent proteins for optically highlighting sub‐populations of fluorescently labelled molecules.
