vLUME: 3D virtual reality for single-molecule localization microscopy

Nat Methods. 2020 Nov;17(11):1097-1099. doi: 10.1038/s41592-020-0962-1. Epub 2020 Oct 12.

Abstract

vLUME is a virtual reality software package designed to render large three-dimensional single-molecule localization microscopy datasets. vLUME features include visualization, segmentation, bespoke analysis of complex local geometries and exporting features. vLUME can perform complex analysis on real three-dimensional biological samples that would otherwise be impossible by using regular flat-screen visualization programs.
