Shortly thereafter, the previous traces seemed to follow them away and out of the scanned area.

The scanned area was several degrees, in all.

One method of improving the scanned area size for AFM is by using parallel probes in a fashion similar to that of millipede data storage.

This system detects the blank scanned areas between lines of text, and then compresses several blank scan lines into the data space of a single character.

This causes the nuclei to produce a rotating magnetic field detectable by the scanner-and this information is recorded to construct an image of the scanned area of the body.

If the scanned area held the holding gun potential a certain number of electrons would be released, if it held the writing gun potential the number would be higher.

Using the Photosmart software's cropping function to reduce the scanned area visibly degraded the picture quality; using Adobe Photodeluxe to do the same thing on a clearly scanned image worked fine.

Each pixel of computer videomemory is synchronized with the position of the beam on the specimen in the microscope, and the resulting image is therefore a distribution map of the intensity of the signal being emitted from the scanned area of the specimen.
