Expansion microscopy enables super-resolved visualization of specimen without the need of highly sophisticated and expensive optical instruments. Instead, the method is executed with conventional chemicals and lab equipment. Imaging of bacteria is performed using standard fluorescence microscopy. This chapter describes a protocol for the expansion microscopy of Bacillus subtilis expressing DivIVA-GFP. In addition, the cell wall was labeled by wheat germ agglutinin. Here, we place emphasis on the challenges of selecting the protein and organism of interest.
