GMimPro
An image sequence processor for single molecule detection and tracking
This software is designed to analyse records containing images of single fluorescent molecules. It is provided free of charge for academic and non-profit making use. We ask that you please reference our publication (1) in Biophysical Journal if you use the programme in your published works.
GMimPro uses a special data format known as GMV. Every image in a sequence (record) has a header containing information about scales, time and so on. RAW data (image sequences) can be imported and converted into GMV file (File/Import data). Other file types (like TIFF) can be first converted into RAW data using 'ImageJ' or other software and converted into GMV. You can also download ImageJ plugins from below to read GMV files or convert other file types into GMV files.
