The FCS technique has been significantly advanced by its combination with super-resolution STED microscopy (STED-FCS). Specifically, the use of gated detection has shown great potential for enhancing STED-FCS, but has also created a demand for software which is efficient and also implements the latest algorithms. Prior to this study, no open software has been available which would allow practical time-gating and correlation of point data derived from STED-FCS experiments.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: The product of this study is a piece of stand-alone software called FoCuS-point. FoCuS-point utilizes advanced time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC) correlation algorithms along with time-gated filtering and innovative data visualization. The software has been designed to be highly user-friendly and is tailored to handle batches of data with tools designed to process files in bulk. FoCuS-point also includes advanced fitting algorithms which allow the parameters of the correlation curves and thus the kinetics of diffusion to be established quickly and efficiently.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Availability and implementation: FoCuS-point is written in python and is available through the github repository: https:\/\/github.com\/dwaithe\/FCS_point_correlator. Furthermore, compiled versions of the code are available as executables which can be run directly in Linux, Windows and Mac OSX operating systems.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0dominic.waithe@imm.ox.ac.uk<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btv687","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,21]],"date-time":"2015-11-21T02:29:46Z","timestamp":1448072986000},"page":"958-960","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":65,"title":["FoCuS-point: software for STED fluorescence correlation and time-gated single photon counting"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Dominic","family":"Waithe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Wolfson Imaging Centre and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mathias P.","family":"Clausen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2 MRC Human Immunology Unit, Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine, University of Oxford, Headley Way, Oxford, OX3 9DS, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Erdinc","family":"Sezgin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2 MRC Human Immunology Unit, Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine, University of Oxford, Headley Way, Oxford, OX3 9DS, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Eggeling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Wolfson Imaging Centre and"},{"name":"2 MRC Human Immunology Unit, Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine, University of Oxford, Headley Way, Oxford, OX3 9DS, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023020111470937700_btv687-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"67","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ymeth.2015.06.017","article-title":"A straightforward approach for gated sted-fcs to investigate lipid membrane dynamics","volume":"88","author":"Clausen","year":"2015","journal-title":"Methods"},{"key":"2023020111470937700_btv687-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1159","DOI":"10.1038\/nature07596","article-title":"Direct observation of the nanoscale dynamics of membrane lipids in a living cell","volume":"457","author":"Eggeling","year":"2009","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"2023020111470937700_btv687-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"390","DOI":"10.1016\/0301-0104(74)85005-6","article-title":"Rotational Brownian motion and fluorescence intensify fluctuations","volume":"4","author":"Ehrenberg","year":"1974","journal-title":"Chem.
