Thanks David,

each particle is a single molecule of protein; we need to visualize
all the proteins to get meaningful interpretation.

i can look at 1/10 of the particles by reducing the field of view but
it's still slow.

do you have any suggestions of getting the x,y locations on the image
w/ an array operation instead of a for loop?

Thanks!
