Annibale and Lohse have recently suggested a way1 in which the two-dimensional fluorescence intensity fluctuation (2D FIF) spectrometry2 may be further refined. Their main suggestion is to include a step in the analysis process where a case-by-case inspection of individual regions of interest of a membrane allows for selection of portions of the membrane which are "as homogenous as possible" and thereby exclude intensity spots potentially related to other sub-cellular structures. By incorporating that proposal into an objective and reproducible algorithm, here we show that 2D FIF has a built-in capability to automatically filter out such contributions, and that further removal of inhomogeneities does not alter the final results.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
