Hello everybody,
I need to open AFM images taken with a Veeco Dimension Icon Atomic Force Microscope.
The microscope is driven by last version of the Nanoscope (Digital Instruments ?) software.
The file format seems to be the Nanoscope V. The file looks like a text image with a very long header. The latter reports all the informations about the microscope settings like scan size, z-range etc.

Now I'm using the Open_NV plug-in, but it as some bugs: scale and calibration of the image are lost and the image results to be vertically flipped. Furthermore, with this plug-in it is not possible to open automatically a series of images within a folder.

I read that there should be a macro that would make ImageJ able to do this work.
I know as well that Image SXM program (always derived from NIH Image) is able to deal properly with this images but it lack in some image processing functions available in ImageJ.

Thank you in advance

Best
