Move-n-Scan
 Move-n-scan software After selecting the coordinates for imaging with the move-n-scan software, the instrument automatically measures the images in the preselected areas. With the move-n-scan software it is possible to create extremely large AFM images by measuring several images, in sequence, that are spatially next to each-other. An example of AFM image "stitching" is shown below. The scan size of the "stitched" image is 80 × 220 microns. The image is of a piece of abalone shell, composed of crystalline tiles bonded together with a protein layer. The specimen was mechanically polished before AFM imaging.
