SurfaceTopography.ScanningProbe.RigidScan module

SurfaceTopography.ScanningProbe.RigidScan.scan_with_rigid_sphere(topography, radius)

Scan a topography with a rigid, spherical tip. This emulated scanning of a physical topography in an scanning probe instrument.

Paramaters

topographySurfaceTopography.UniformLineScan or SurfaceTopography.NonuniformLineScan

Topography to be scanned.

radiusfloat

Tip radius.

returns:

scanned_heights – Scannned heights of topography on the same grid as the topography.

rtype:

np.ndarray

SurfaceTopography.ScanningProbe.RigidScan.pipeline_scan_with_rigid_sphere(self, radius)

Scan the topography with a rigid, spherical tip. This emulated scanning of a physical topography in a scanning probe instrument.

Paramaters

radiusfloat

Tip radius, in the same units as the topography

returns:

topography – Topography with scannned heights on the same grid as the topography.

rtype:

SurfaceTopography.UniformLineScan or SurfaceTopography.NonuniformLineScan
