A multitude of biological processes that involve multiple interaction partners are observed by two-color microscopy. Here we describe an analysis method for the robust quantification of correlation between signals in different color channels: particle image cross-correlation spectroscopy (PICCS). The method, which exploits the superior positional accuracy obtained in single-object and single-molecule microscopy, can extract the correlation fraction and length scale. We applied PICCS to correlati ...[more]
