The Correlation Companion

3D correlation in Python with a user friendly graphical user interface.

Easy And Fast

This toolbox contains all the necessary bits and pieces to guide you through the 2D to 3D correlation process, mainly in CLEM.

GUI

A graphical user interface helps with data preprocessing and the subsequent correlation.

Open Source

The complete 3D Correlation Toolbox is open source under the GNUv3 license. The source code is available at GitHub.

Cross Platform

The toolbox is written in Python 2.7. There are Pyinstaller binaries for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux prepackaged with Python and all necessary modules.

Citing

We ask users to cite:

  • The general paper that forms the basis of the 3D Correlation Toolbox
    • When using independent modules/scripts from the source code:
  • Any specific publications of modules/scripts used in this software
  • Check the header of the module/script in question, for more detailed information
If journal reference limits interfere, the module/script-specific publications should take precedence.

In general, please cite this project and the modules/scripts used in it.
Thank you for your support!
