Over the past decades there has been a growing interest in the domain of archaea. In this chapter we highlight the recent advances that have been made in studying the cell biology of archaea. We particularly focus on methods for genetic manipulation and imaging of different archaeal species and discuss the technical limitations at the often-extreme growth conditions. Several ongoing developments will help us overcoming these limitations, thereby facilitating future studies in the existing field of archaeal cell biology.
