We have released the latest version (v2.1.3) of TestSTORM. Here are the changes:

• Significant memory reduction for the simulations (should be between 2 and 4 times).
• Performance improvement when running the simulation with large number of labels.
• Axial position for the “Array” pattern now can be set in the GUI. It is useful for generating calibration files for the astigmatic 3D simulations.
• Some minor fixes for v2.1.1

Also we backported a minor feature from the development branch and released rainSTORM v3.1.7. Here are the changes:

• Backport ExportBoxTracker tool to export localization data from selected ROIs on the Super-Resolution Image.
• Updated Auto Drift Algorithm with comments.
• Removed the BaSDI Drift Correction button from the GUI, as the implementation wasn’t as good as expected.

József Sinkó has had a successful grant application at Campus Hungary Program. He will cover his journey to Oslo, Norway to ELMI 2014 conference by this grant.

József Sinkó won FERROÉP – Pro Talentis Award. Pro Talentis Awards are founded by industrial companies for talented students.

Miklós Erdélyi was awarded a four-year Marie-Curie integration grant on Development and application of super resolution localization microscopy starting in September 2013.
