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.

...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. Check https://sourceforge.net/p/spm-and-mol-viewer/wiki/Home/ for updates.
