Welcome to the colloids toolbox wiki

The colloids toolbox was developed during the PhD thesis of Mathieu Leocmach at Hajime Tanaka's laboratory, Institute of Industrial Science, the University of Tokyo.

The main features are

  • particle tracking from confocal microscopy images
  • analysis of local structure and dynamics of particles (from simulations or experiments)

Installation

Python

Particle tracking

Important bug (Jan 2017)

I have found and fixed (23rd of January 2017) an important bug in the particle tracking code you may be using from the command line as tracker -L -i myfile.lif -o path/to/coordinates/files

The subpixel resolution was wrong. I apologise if this bug has impacted your research.

This bug does NOT affect later versions of the code: multiscale (C++), MultiscaleBlobFinder (Python) and CrockerGrierFinder (Python).

Despite the bug, pixel resolution was ensured, but the position relative to the pixel was not evenly distributed between -0.5px and +0.5px (rather unevenly between -0.23px and +0.23px).
