Experimentally obtained fluorescence trajectories of TMR-labeled dextran where the photobleaching steps are (A) sharp and readily detected for a total of 7 states, (B) less distinct but still resolved at a maximum likelihood of 28 states, (C) within the limits of our technique at 35 ± 4 states showing that the total number of states is not the only variable dictating the ability to determine the number of states, and (D) beyond the capability of this detection technique. The graph insets show the posterior log-probability optimized for each number of fluorophores analyzed in the context of our model.
