icsdll 2019.7.10

Interface to the image correlation spectroscopy library ICSx64.dll

ICSdll is a Python/ctypes interface to the Image Correlation Spectroscopy Dynamic Link Library (ICSx64.dll) developed at the Laboratory for Fluorescence Dynamics (LFD) for the Globals for Images SimFCS software.

ICSx64.dll is implemented in C++ using the Intel(r) Math Kernel Library and OpenMP. It provides functions and classes for the analysis of fluorescence time series data:

• 1D, 2D, and 3D auto- and cross-correlation

• Image pair correlation function (ipCF)

• Airy detector pair correlation function (apCF)

• Image mean square displacement (iMSD)

• Line spatio-temporal image correlation spectroscopy (lSTICS)

• Fit 1D pair correlation functions to the results of ipCF analysis

• Subtract immobile fractions

• Correct photo-bleaching

Requirements

• CPython 3.5+, 64-bit

• Numpy 1.11.3

• Intel(r) Math Kernel Library (build)

• Visual Studio 2017 C++ compiler (build)

Revisions

2019.7.10

Pass 22 tests. Wrap apcf, imsd, and lstics functions. Raise IcsError in case of DLL function errors. Use ICSx64.DLL version 2019.7.10.

2019.5.22

Initial release based on ICSx64.DLL version 2018.7.18.

Notes

ICSdll is currently developed, built, and tested on 64-bit Windows only.

The API is not stable and might change between revisions.

Refer to the C++ header file and source code for function signatures.
