Description

In the zipped folder "codes.zip" and sub-folders:

flickering.m : matlab class that contains all the functions to set up and perform the analysis of a video of a flickering vesicle, to retrieve the spectrum of its fluctuations.

example.m : a brief example script where the flickering.m class is used.

export_spectrum.m : a scripts that loads the output of a flickering analysis (e.g. of example.m) and converts it to a json file format, ready for the fitting routine.

DataAnalysis.nb : commented Mathematica notebook containing the fitting routine and an example of its usage.

LTable.nb : support Mathematica file

DataExample_X.json : example spectra readable by the Mathematica notebook.

In the zipped folder "Sample_Data.zip":

Examples of flickering confocal videos collected for the same vesicle at different pinhole size (and thus z-resolution, see paper). The videos are in tif format. The text file "Experimental" contains information on the pixel size, framerate, and pinhole size of each video.

Version

Software / Usage instructions

See comments on the files. Software: Mathematica and Matlab for the analysis code. Most commercial image visualisation softwares can open tif files.
