21. The point treatment assumes that there is no excluded volume associated with the dyes. We showed in ref 13 that this treatment led to no distortion in FRET calculations.
22. This assumption holds true when the interface is narrow enough and the hexagonal cells are large enough - as in our case. For a very broad interface, one has to consider energy transfer from/to the neighboring hexagonal cells.
23. The extent of energy transfer calculated from our methodology is independent of the donor concentration.
