Hi Eric,
after having a detailed look on your picture, the binary seems to be indeed ok. Actually the data you get in the excel files contains the connected components corresponding to your selected parameters (scale 2, 60). The 4th components correspond to the plasma membrane (surface 661, with the mass center on the top of the cell (neer the budding, see detection index 4 on capture 13.21.56). If you want to avoid plasma membrane detection, you can filter your results based on the size - for exemple 1-100 (see capture 13.24.18). Then you will have a binary and a xls files with only your "little spots".
I send you a zip file, with the filered and not filtered version of the spot detector.
Hope it helps.
Cheers.
Lydia
