We provide instructions on how to run 3D localizations on the test data from the ZOLA package.
Download and unzip TEST-DATA.zip to get Mitochondria test data.
Mitochondrial protein TOM22 immunolabelled with Alexa 647 with corresponding bead calibration stack is imaged using tetrapod PSF.
- Open Mitochondria-tetrapod/data/Mito-sp4-SR-data-crop-small.tif
- Select
Plugins
->ZOLA
->Localization
and enter optical and computational parameters. Click OK to start localization.
- You will soon see automatically updated color-coded histogram.
- Once localization is done (elapsed time ~4 minutes on our Tesla GPU), you can filter the localization table.
Select
Plugins
->ZOLA -> Filtering
. You will see three new windows: disclaimer, scatter plot which can be used to select ROI, and brightness and contrast dialog, which represents now histogram on z localizations. We select a broad peak corresponding to the useful data and avoiding artifacts in the lower part of the axial range. Click OK, enter maximum value of Chi2 = 3 and click OK once again. Now our table is filtered.
- In order to an axial projection we need to generate 3D histogram
Plugins
->ZOLA -> Visualization -> 2D/3D historgam
- Next, run
Reslice
(keyboard shortcut '/') form the left to see YZ stack. Mitochondrial organelles' hollow structure is readily apparent.
- Don't forget to save updated localization table
