Octane
Super-resolution imaging and single molecule tracking software.
The Octane is a program we developed to facilitate works involved in super-resolution optical imaging (PALM, STORM etc). By providing an intuitive graphical user interface front end, we hope it can serve as a useful tool for a wide range of scientists, including experimental biologists as well as physicists. The program runs as a plugin of the (extremely versatile) ImageJ software, thus can be used on any image format that is supported by ImageJ.

Download
The current version is 1.2. To install, download the program and simply copy it under the plugin folder of your ImageJ installation.
JavaDoc is here.
Requirement
- Java runtime 1.6. Earlier versions are not supported.
- ImageJ version 1.44 and up. Download it here.
- Apache commons math library v2.2. Download it here or from Apache's website. This should also be copied to ImageJ's plugin folder.
- Bean shell library. You only need this if you want to run your own script within the program.
