Hello,

I am using a Dimension 3100 controller to analyze my polymer films.

I am trying to extract dimensional data of the nanostructures that I see in my films: height, width and length.

The "Section" option is fairly simple to use, but I wonder how I can correct for the radius of the tip? In one of the papers I read, the authors had used a "Fourier analysis" to extract dimensional data, but I cannot figure out what that is.

You can access a sample file here: https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0BwbO4C-5GLgNM2UzMWU4MGYtODk0Mi00MDJjLWFkY2QtN2EzNDZkN2U2MjMy&hl=en

I would appreciate any help.

Regards.

Avi

Avi,

The link does not work for me. Can you please email me the paper you are referring to? (skaemmer@veeco.com)

I think the authors simply used something like "power spectral density" to extract the width of their fibrils. PSD is basically a FFT performed on your data. PSD is part of Nanoscope analysis.
