SUMMARY

The discussion centers on software options for analyzing Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) images, specifically ".ezd" files generated by the Nanosurf easyScan microscope. Users express dissatisfaction with Nanosurf's software and WSxM due to their limitations in measuring angles and distances. Gwyddion is recommended as a robust and free alternative that meets the necessary analytical requirements.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) principles
  • Familiarity with file formats such as ".ezd"
  • Basic knowledge of image analysis techniques
  • Experience with software installation and usage
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Gwyddion features and installation procedures
  • Explore advanced image analysis techniques in STM
  • Investigate alternative software options for STM analysis
  • Learn about data visualization methods for STM images
USEFUL FOR

Physics students, researchers in nanotechnology, and anyone involved in analyzing Scanning Tunneling Microscopy images will benefit from this discussion.

I've finished a lab with Scanning Tunneling Microscopy in an upper level physics undergrad course, and now I have about 50 ".ezd" files to analyze. They were produced with the Nanosurf easyScan microscope, which I'm told is quite common in very basic applications.

I'm looking for some software to analyze these images with. Nanosurf's software leaves a lot to be desired, and WSxM is unable to measure angles, distances, etc.

Can anyone recommend some good software? I know there is a lot out there.

Have you tried Gwyddion. I think this one is good and also free.
I think it has the features you are looking for.
