Highlights of pyMINFLUX 0.3.0 are the new native file format (that preserves data and settings), new analysis tools, performance and user-experience improvements, and a ParaView reader plug-in!

Get it here!

Changelog

  • Add native pyMINFLUX file format .pmx.
  • FRC Analysis now runs in parallel over all CPU cores.
  • Add new Trace Statistics Viewer.
  • Add new Trace Length Viewer.
  • Add fluorophore ID reassignment within traces by majority vote.
  • Allow opening files by drag-and-drop onto the Pipeline Toolbar (left panel).
  • Add all analysis tools to the main window’s Analysis menu.
  • Add companion ParaView reader plug-in.
  • Remove 3D Plotter (in favor of using ParaView and the ParaView reader plug-in).

pyMINFLUX 0.2.0 released!

The main highlights of pyMINFLUX 0.2.0 are the new FRC Analyzer, a tool that implements Fourier Ring Correlation analysis to track the change of signal resolution over time (thus helping decide when the acquisition can be stopped), and full programmatic access to the pyMINFLUX core library, to make it possible to develop analysis pipelines (i.e., Python scripts or Jupyter Notebooks) that run without the user interface. More information is listed in the changelog below.

Changelog

New features

  • Calculate additional per-trace statistics and allow exporting all stats to csv file.

  • Add menu action to check for application updates.

Bug fixes

  • Fix issue with the fluorophore drop-down menu not being refreshed after global reset button is pressed.

pyMINFLUX 0.1.3 released!

We are happy to announce the release and immediate availability of pyMINFLUX 0.1.3! This release adds a series of new (and requested) features and fixes a couple of bugs.

New features

  • Implement z-scaling factor to compensate for refractive index mismatch.
  • Add context menu actions to export any plot as a .png image and at a user-defined DPI.
  • Add global reset button to the main-window wizard and remove the one from the Analyzer.
  • Add quick help for all entries in the Options dialog.
  • Add links to code repository, issues page, and mailing list to the Help menu.
  • Add a few minor UI tweaks.

Bug fixes

  • Fix issue with applying a filter in the Time Inspector not updating the Analyzer plots.
  • Fix issue with measurement lines being allowed when the plotted data was not spatial (x, y), and the reported distance would be in nm.
  • Fix inconsistency in the way fluorophore IDs and colors were assigned by the various methods used.
