Abstract
The field of single charge tunneling comprises of phenomena where the tunneling of a microscopic charge, usually carried by an electron or a Cooper pair, leads to macroscopically observable effects. The basic principles governing this area of research are briefly outlined and the present state of the art is discussed.
