The ability to quantify the organization of cell membrane molecules is limited by the density of labeling and experimental conditions. Here, the authors use super-resolution optical fluctuation (SOFI) for molecular density and clustering analyses, and investigate nanoscale distribution of CD4 glycoprotein.
