More Information
Summary:Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) is already a relevant tool in biological research at the nanoscale. We present 'Flatten plus', a recent and helpful implementation in the well-known WSxM free software package. 'Flatten plus' allows reducing low-frequency noise in SPM images in a semi-automated way preventing the appearance of typical artifacts associated with such filters. WSxM is a free software implemented in C++ supported on MS Windows, but it can also be run under Mac or Linux using emulators such as Wine or Parallels. WSxM can be downloaded from http://www.wsxmsolutions.com/. ignacio.horcas@wsxmsolutions.com.
