Biological processes, though often imaged and visualized in two dimensions, inherently occur in at least three-dimensional space. As time-resolved volumetric imaging becomes increasingly accessible, there emerges a necessity for tools that empower non-specialists to process and interpret intricate datasets. We introduce ThirdPeak, an open-source tool tailored for the comprehensive analysis of two- and three-dimensional track data across various scales. Its versatile import and export options ensure seamless integration into established workflows, while the intuitive user interface allows for swift visualization and analysis of the data. When applied to live-cell diffusion data, this software demonstrates the benefits of integrating both 2D and 3D analysis, yielding valuable insights into the understanding of biological processes.
生物过程虽然常常在二维空间中成像和可视化,但本质上是在至少三维空间中发生的。随着时间分辨体积成像越来越容易实现,出现了对能让非专业人员处理和解释复杂数据集的工具的需求。我们引入了ThirdPeak,这是一个开源工具,专为全面分析各种尺度的二维和三维轨迹数据而设计。其通用的导入和导出选项确保无缝集成到既定工作流程中,而直观的用户界面允许快速可视化和分析数据。当应用于活细胞扩散数据时,该软件展示了整合二维和三维分析的优势,为理解生物过程提供了有价值的见解。
