Abstract

A successful scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) experiment relies on both delicate sample preparation and measurement, and careful image filtering and analysis to provide clear and solid results. Processing and analysis of STM images may result in a tricky task, due to the complexity and specificity of the probed systems. In this paper, we introduce our recently developed, simple Python-based methods for filtering and analysing STM images, with the aim of providing a semi-quantitative treatment of the input data. Case studies will be presented using images obtained through electrochemical STM. Additionally, we propose a straightforward yet effective universal drift-correction tool for SPM image sequences.

基于python的简单STM图像分析和漂移校正方法。

一个成功的扫描隧道显微镜（STM）实验依赖于精细的样品制备和测量，以及仔细的图像滤波和分析，以提供清晰和可靠的结果。由于探测系统的复杂性和特殊性，STM图像的处理和分析可能会导致一项棘手的任务。在本文中，我们介绍了我们最近开发的，简单的基于python的方法来过滤和分析STM图像，目的是提供输入数据的半定量处理。案例研究将使用通过电化学STM获得的图像。此外，我们提出了一个简单而有效的SPM图像序列通用漂移校正工具。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Microscopy is the oldest journal dedicated to the science of microscopy and the only peer-reviewed publication of the Royal Microscopical Society. It publishes papers that report on the very latest developments in microscopy such as advances in microscopy techniques or novel areas of application. The Journal does not seek to publish routine applications of microscopy or specimen preparation even though the submission may otherwise have a high scientific merit. The scope covers research in the physical and biological sciences and covers imaging methods using light, electrons, X-rays and other radiations as well as atomic force and near field techniques. Interdisciplinary research is welcome. Papers pertaining to microscopy are also welcomed on optical theory, spectroscopy, novel specimen preparation and manipulation methods and image recording, processing and analysis including dynamic analysis of living specimens. Publication types include full papers, hot topic fast tracked communications and review articles. Authors considering submitting a review article should contact the editorial office first.
