To fully exploit the physics potential of a future Lepton Collider requires an unprecedented jet energy and (di)-mass resolution. Particle Flow Algorithms, which reconstruct each particle in a jet individually with the sub-detector providing the best energy/momentum resolution have been shown to achieve this goal. The application of PFAs in turn requires finely segmented calorimeters or so-called imaging calorimeters. This talk will review the main developments in imaging calorimetry for both the electromagnetic as well as the hadronic sections. The talk covers recent test beam results from the large prototypes of the CALICE collaboration, such as the Scintillator Analog Hadron Calorimeter (AHCAL), the Digital Hadron Calorimeters (DHCAL and SDHCAL) and the Silicon-Tungsten ECAL.
