To the Editor—Single-molecule localization microscopy techniques such as PALM, STORM, and PAINT are increasingly critical tools for biological discovery. These methods generate lists of single fluorophore positions that capture nanoscale structural details of subcellular organization, but to develop biological insight, we must postprocess and visualize these data in a meaningful way. Many algorithms have been developed for localization postprocessing1, 2, transforming point data into representations that approximate traditional microscopy images2–4, and performing specific quantitative analysis directly on points1, 2, 5–7. Available packages (Supplementary Note 3), however, typically implement a small subset of these algorithms, necessitating complex workflows involving multiple different software packages. Here we present PYMEVisualize, an open-source tool for the interactive exploration and analysis of three-dimensional (3D), multicolor, single-molecule localization data. PYMEVisualize brings together a broad range of the most commonly used postprocessing, density mapping and direct quantification tools in an easy-to-use and extensible package (Fig. 1). This software is one component of the Python Microscopy Environment (http://python-microscopy. org), an integrated application suite for light microscopy acquisition, data storage, visualization and analysis built on top of the scientific Python environment7.
