Correction to: Nature Communications https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-21863-4, published online 12 March 2021.

The original version of this Article contained an error in the Methods, section ‘Single-particle tracking photoactivated localization microscopy (sptPALM)’, where an equation incorrectly read: D = M2π−1−σm2τ−1 . The correct form of the equation is: D = (M2π−1−σm2−1.

This has been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.
