The program is able to detect both point-like (e.g. molecules, beads) and elongated objects (e.g. filaments) with nanometer precision and fully automated. It includes further analysis tools like drift correction, color offset calculation, path statistics and mean-square-calculation.

Notice: We switched hosting of the project to the GitHub repository !

You can help to improve FIESTA by become a contributor, developing code, adding pages in the documentation or writing your own tutorials. If you encounter bugs or want to request enhancements please see the issues tab.
