Description

Under ambient conditions, thermal drift would limit positioning precision of an AFM tip, resulting in distortion of the scanned image. To remove this kind of imaging error, we developed a thermal drift compensation method based on image registration techniques. The image distortion can be efficiently removed, and the sample topography can be truly restored. (authors)
