This Matlab package is a user-friendly tool for calculation of traction forces in traction force microscopy (TFM) experiments.
After downloading, the program can be directly started from the Matlab command line by entering "TF_reconstruction". The folder ''test_data'' contains an exemplary synthetic data set that can be used for first tests.
The package contains two methods:
-
Regularized Fourier Transform Traction Cytometry
-
Bayesian Fourier Transform Traction Cytometry, which is an improved method for automatic, robust traction calculation.
See the User Manual for details on program usage.
