Igor function to read a Nanoscope High Speed Data Capture (HSDC) file and load the data into Igor waves with appropriate scaling. The native Nanoscope file is read and the ASCII header is parsed to get scaling factors while the binary part is read directly, so no export is required. See the comments at the beginning of the file for more details on usage

HSDC files are usually so large that they are unmanageable when exported to ASCII. It is usually much more efficient to directly read the native NanoScope files instead. This is especially true if you plan on analyzing a large number of files. Nanoscope files are composed of an ASCII header that contains information about the microscope configuration

The scanner calibration allows the system to convert from raw voltages to distances. An incorrect calibration could lead to incorrect measurements in images (X, Y, or Z) or features that look squashed or stretched. Icon scanners store a copy of the calibration on the head in addition to the one on the hard drive of the computer. There are two primary

The atomic force microscope (AFM) has long been recognized as a useful tool for measuring mechanical properties of materials. Until recently though, it has been impossible to achieve truly quantitative material property mapping with the resolution and convenience demanded by AFM researchers. A number of recent AFM mode innovations have taken aim at

HarmoniX is a TappingMode technique, meaning that the SPM feedback that controls the Z piezo extension (and indirectly the force) is designed to keep the tapping amplitude constant. This is a proven mechanism for SPM imaging that has produced most of the best images and data in the literature for the last decade. While HarmoniX can calculate the peak
