摘要: The use of fluorescent markers in living cells has increased dramatically the recent years. quantitative analysis images requires specific software. Previously, program Quimp was launched for quantitating intensities at membrane or cortex cell. However, is not well suited to quantitate local displacement. Here we present Quimp2 that capable tracking subregions time, which enables simultaneous quantification and movement. two new tools, (i) conversion filters analyze movies obtained with fluorescent, DIC phase contrast different microscopes, (ii) a macro calculates displacement provides various options display results. used here investigate molecular mechanism cell movement by correlating dynamics concentration myosin F-actin.
