In lipid bilayers regimes exist in which two phases are able to coexist.  Using a procedure known as FRET, we are able to examine the behavior of this system.  We model FRET, and determine its dependence on four parameters, verifying that in some cases, we can use only two parameters, keeping the other two constant.
