3D particle averaging and detection of macromolecular symmetry in localization microscopy

Adaptation of current algorithms to 3D SMLM data is currently problematic. Here the authors report a method that increases the signal-to-noise ratio and resolution of 3D single particle analysis in localization microscopy and enables determination of the symmetry groups of macromolecular complexes.
