 - **Misaligned data**: The data stacks must be aligned image-by-image in order to correctly interpret the observations.
 - **Image Padding Requirements**: Image stacks require padding in order to keep features of interest within the measured area over the full energy range.
 - **Limited Fine-stage Movement**: A large virtual drift will apply a significant feedback voltage which can push the limits of the sample fine stage and cause a mismatch between the calculate scan-tile regions and the achievable fine stage regions.
-- **Excessive Noise**: Complaints during experiments, complaints during analysis, complaints in articles.
 
 There are a number of strategies for dealing with energy drift:
 - **Post-fix**: Simply align the images during the data analysis.
