The emergence of optical microscopes opens new doors for the study of cell structures. However, the diffraction limit restricts the detection of fine structures. Recent years, a variety of methods are proposed to overcome the diffraction limit and reach the nanoscale resolution. The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) color center, an important defect in diamond with bright and stable luminescence and long electron spin coherence time, is widely used in quantum computation and quantum measurement. At the same time, it also plays a significant role in super-resolution microscopies. The NV center nanoscale resolution imaging is realized with the combination of all kinds of super resolution imaging microscope, and further the quantum sensor of high spatial resolution is realized. A brief introduction to the structure and the property of NV centers and basic principles of the imaging techniques are given simply. The experimental results of the super-resolution imaging with NV centers are summarized and compared, and finally its applications are summarized and prospected in the future.
