The use of electrochemiluminescence (ECL), i.e., chemiluminescence triggered by electrochemical stimulus, as emitting light source for microscopy is an emerging approach with different applications ranging from the visualization of nanomaterials to cell mapping. In this trend article, we give an overview of the state of the art in this new field with the purpose to illustrate all the possible applications so far explored as well as describing the mechanism underlying this transduction technique. The results discussed here would highlight the great potential of the combination between ECL and microscopy and how this marriage can turn into an innovative approach with specific application in analytical sciences.

Abstract
The use of electrochemiluminescence (ECL), i.e., chemiluminescence triggered by electrochemical stimulus, as emitting light source for microscopy is an emerging approach with different applications ranging from the visualization of nanomaterials to cell mapping. In this trend article, we give an overview of the state of the art in this new field with the purpose to illustrate all the possible applications so far explored as well as describing the mechanism underlying this transduction technique. The results discussed here would highlight the great potential of the combination between ECL and microscopy and how this marriage can turn into an innovative approach with specific application in analytical sciences.
