Hybrid AFM data visualization: The Art of Science

Simultaneous 3D Visualization of the multiple hybrid AFM images is quite challenging task of the computer graphics. ScienceGL Inc. develops new interactive visualization software tools for AFM data obtained in several different modes.


Some examples of the Fluorescence data together with AFM height and some other modes Visualized in 3D can be found here:

The most important features of the software is the ability to explore data, flyby navigate over the layers and perform quantitative read out with set of interactive measurements tools.

AFM microscopy is getting more and more sophisticated with introduction of the combined AFM instruments that support multiple modes of data acquisition. Modern AFM can produce multiple data sets taken at several modes such as: height, phase, modulated force, optical microscopy, luminescence, Raman spectroscopy, electrical (Kelvin potential), magnetic, etc. The amount of data to be analyzed together might be large so that the traditional 2D and 3D visualization is not adequate any longer for scientist.

To address the needs of modern AFM microscopy ScienceGL has developed specific 3D graphics for multiple layer data taken at different AFM modes. The software brings together several different data sets into one 3D screen. This approach lets the researcher to reveal the complex trends and relationship between various phenomena under investigation. The software features advanced interactive set of measuring tools that permits fast and accurate data measurement in 3D virtual reality environment. The access to quantitative measurable parameters of data such as intersections, distance, volume, area makes our software the unique analyzing package for science and technology.
