Error of the mean amplitude (a,c) and the standard deviation of the amplitude (b,d) of TexasRed in ternary mixtures of dyes. (a,b) show the results of our algorithm (see Suppl. Figs. 7e,f), while (c,d) result from a brute force minimum search of the maximum likelihood value. The photon numbers in the simulations are 200, 400, 800, 1,600, 2,400, and 3,600 (starting from bottom and going counter-clockwise). The color bar shows the respective values as percentage of the total number of photons per pixel.
