11. Our NFT technique is significantly different from the traditional use of background ions as tracers. In traditional indirect fluorescence applications, fluorescent (or strongly UV absorbing) background ions are present in sufficiently high concentration that they are displaced by the constraints of conservation of current and net neutrality. In contrast, the NFTs we employ here are present in negligible concentration, contribute negligibly to current, and consequently have concentration profiles which differ substantially from those of background ions.

20. Although tracers are typically nonfocusing in the entire ITP domain, the current theory applies also to tracers which may traverse several zones, but then focus at a subsequent interface.
