E. creating an effective monolayer, the probe would only have to fall and rise by a maximum of 2 mm, allowing the top hemispheres to be imaged. 5 Temperature variation and vibration isolation Owing to its very nature the AFM can be susceptible to changes in temperature and external vibrations. Providing these variables are realized and steps are taken to minimize their effects, a user should still be able to obtain high-quality images. Air conditioning can help to minimize the effects of thermal fluctuations by stabilizing the temperature of the room within which the AFM is operated.
These methods are all based on the premise that a micrograph is a simple projection of the object and therefore have much in common. The main steps include (i) pre-processing of images, (ii) restoration of images, (iii) enhancement of images, (iv) determination of orientations and (v) reconstruction of the three-dimensional distribution of density. The result obtained must then be validated and interpreted. 4 Images of a carbon film (taken at 200 kV on an FEI T-20 FEG-EM) at the defocus values indicated and their corresponding Fourier transforms.

Although fascinating, some scientists could see no practical relevance, dismissing the tool as a whimsical novelty.
