Hi:
I wonder if the streaks you see below are due to some debris on the sample or perhaps some artifact I am unaware of. What puzzles me is that the largest streaks go straight across the rock's pits. In other words, the streaks form a "bridge" across the gorges.
Is it possible that these are, in fact, caused by debris?
Thanks.
That definitely looks like debris is being picked up by the tip, causing a step. Additionally, it looks like you have used a second or third order flatten or a realtime "Bow" fit, causing the steps to turn into arched scan lines. Please take a look at the offline manual section on flattening.

Thanks again, Bede!
