A data visualization and processing tool for scanning probe microscopy (SPM, i.e. AFM, STM, MFM, SNOM/NSOM, ...) and profilometry data, useful also for general image and 2D data analysis.

...Valtr et al., Scanning Probe Microscopy controller with advanced sampling support, HardwareX, Volume 15, e00451 https://www.hardware-x.com/article/S2468-0672(23)00058-5/fulltext It is based on a low cost FPGA board Red Pitaya and additional high bit depth AD and DA converters. When put together with the AFM scanning hardware (sensor, scanner and their amplifiers) and user interface software it can serve as a standalone SPM system. Otherwise, it can serve as a sub-module for a custom built SPM system, e.g. providing the feedback loop mechanism only. Finally, it can be used as a board for developing advanced sampling techniques, which was the primary goal.

This application lets STM or AFM images AND molecular models to be overlaid. It is useful to understand how your molecules fit to what you observed and can help interpret your data. What makes this application more useful than paint programs (powerpoint or inkscape) is the fact that the size of the images and of the molecule is fixed, so that you know that you are working in real space.

Nanopuller by Konrad Pawlak and Janusz Strzelecki http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ultramic.2016.01.008 http://www.biofizyka.fizyka.umk.pl/ Laboratory made AFM force spectroscopy setups were present in milestone single molecule experiments and there is a growing number of groups using such equipment even though the commercial setups are nowadays widely available. The ability to tailor the setup accordingly to particular application is an advantage that makes the effort necessary for construction a worthy investment. ...

...Originated in summer 2007 as a collection of C compiled for Matlab (MEX) files and was eventually ported to a standalone C++ application with a GUI created in Qt. This program takes atomic and magnetic force microscope (AFM/MFM) image pairs as input and uses threshold segmentation to identify magnetic nanodots by intensity in the AFM image. These are then used to assess the magnetic states of those dots in the MFM image Attribution: "C++ GUI Programming with Qt 4" by Blanchette and Summerfield was helpful in getting me started on the GUI.

A Java program to paint the experimental and theoretical data obtained of STM and AFM.
