Cover Story: Making good use of photons is critical in single-particle tracking. This work presents a 3D single-particle tracking system that can apply tailored sampling patterns to selectively extract photons that yield the most information for particle localization. Maximizing the information collected from a fixed number of photons is crucial since the total number of photons that can be detected from particles in biological systems is limited. After a thorough investigation of various sampling patterns in 1, 2, and 3 dimensions, we demonstrate that, rather than directly sampling the particle, off-center sampling patterns that overlap the regions of high Fisher information give the highest precision. We show that precision can be doubled in 2D (XY-plane) or 1D (Z-axis) localization, and a ~20% increase in precision was observed in 3D localization. View this paper

Deng entropy and extropy are two measures useful in the Dempster–Shafer evidence theory (DST) to study uncertainty, following the idea that extropy is the dual concept of entropy. In this paper, we present their fractional versions named fractional D...
