12. These represent relative counts and not absolute counts, because the ICCD detection threshold was set artificially high to eliminate all false-positive events that would have distorted the accompanying measurements of spot sizes and to avoid artifacts due to photobleaching. Only the most extensively labeled molecules in the sample population can exceed the detection threshold. Their behavior is still representative because a neutral label is used.

There, a secondary minimum is predicted as a result of the interplay between charge repulsion and van der Waals attraction. However, that feature is more prominent toward higher ionic strengths, in variance with our observations of enhanced trapping toward lower ionic strengths.
