DEM profiles reconstructed from observed AIA count rates in selected pixels of the 2010 November 3 event. Top row: AIA images recorded around 12:15:02 UT in the 131 A and 211 A channels (left and right panel, respectively). The numbered crosses denote the location of the pixels selected for a comparison of the ξ(Τ) profiles reconstructed by the different methods. Second to fifth row: ξ(Τ) profiles associated with Pixels 1 through 8. In each panel, the profiles reconstructed by the BP, FIR, SITES, REG and RML methods are plotted in magenta, blue, brown, green, and orange, respectively. The ± 1σ uncertainties associated with the SITES, REG and RML reconstructions have been added as error bars at each temperature point in the pertinent reconstruction. The intensities of the reconstructions of Pixels 1, 3 and 5 have been multiplied by a factor of 2. The intensity axes are linear, while the temperature axes are in terms of log₁₀ Τ (K).
