Published Workflows

Objective: Use the ImageJ/Fiji ecosystem for end-to-end single-molecule localization microscopy analysis, spanning localization, image reconstruction, and downstream postprocessing.

Why it works: The abstract states that multiple plugins and macros together cover the major SMLM analysis steps from localization through reconstruction to postprocessing, enabling automated and quantitative analysis within the ImageJ/Fiji environment.

Stages

  1. 1.
    Single-molecule localization(broad_screen)

    The abstract identifies single-molecule localization as the first covered step in the SMLM analysis sequence.

  2. 2.
    Image reconstruction(functional_characterization)

    The abstract states that the tools cover image reconstruction after single-molecule localization.

  3. 3.
    SMLM data postprocessing(secondary_characterization)

    The abstract explicitly lists postprocessing as the downstream stage following localization and reconstruction.

    Selection: postprocessing tasks such as density analysis, image registration, or resolution estimation

Implementation Constraints

cofactor dependency: cofactor requirement unknownencoding mode: genetically encodedimplementation constraint: context specific validationoperating role: sensor

It requires the Fiji software environment and relevant plugins or macros for specific SMLM analysis steps.; used as an ImageJ extension; SMLM functionality depends on available plugins and macros

Independent follow-up evidence is still limited. Validation breadth across biological contexts is still narrow. Independent reuse still looks limited, so the evidence base may be fragile. No canonical validation observations are stored yet, so context-specific performance remains under-specified.
