The #1 toolbox for Scanning Probe Microscopy data analysis

Based on industry-standard Mountains® technology and now also including all the best SPIP™ (Image Metrology) interactivity and analytical tools, MountainsSPIP® software contains the most advanced set of professional tools on the market for your scanning probe microscopy image analysis.
Apply interactive particle analysis - Analyze force curves and force volume images - Perform correlative analysis by combining SPM images and data from other instruments - Analyze multi-channel files - Process data from ANY scanning probe microscope including atomic force microscopes (AFM) - Correct, normalize and denoise measured data - Ensure correct XY calibration - Correct tip effect - Characterize surface texture in accordance with ISO standards

What’s inside MountainsSPIP®

Advanced particle analysis

Easily detect and quantify features of any shape and size. Quantify 70+ characteristics (height, area, volume, perimeter etc.) for the whole sample or individual particles.

Force spectroscopy

View, process and analyze force curves and force volume images. Correct data, create interactive parameter maps and manage large collections of curves.

Correlative analysis

Combine SPM images with data from other instruments (SEMs, 3D optical microscopes, confocal microsopes etc.) to perform correlative analysis.

Multi-channel imaging & analysis

Handle multi-channel files. Visualize different layers in 3D at the touch of a button. Apply analysis to a single layer or to all layers. Extract multi-layer cross-sections.

High compatibility

Process data from any brand or type of scanning probe microscope including atomic force microscopy (AFM), STM, SNOM etc. Open over 170 file formats.

Data correction & normalization

Get your data ready for analysis with correction, normalization & denoising tools. Remove anomalous scan lines and isolated artifacts.

Lateral calibration

Lateral calibration: automatically calculate correction parameters (for example using a calibration standard) then apply them to measured data.

Tip deconvolution

Correct image distortion due to tip convolution. Simulate and reconstruct tip geometry and re-use it for the deconvolution of other measured data.

Surface texture analysis

Characterize surface texture characterization in accordance with international standards. Apply advanced ISO 16610 filtering techniques and ISO 25178 3D parameters.

Benefits

Thanks to its unique analysis workflow, MountainsSPIP® makes it easy to keep track of analysis steps already applied to images and instantly revert back to any step in the process. Any step can be edited: all dependent steps are automatically recalculated!

Benefits

MountainsSPIP® allows you to save work and pick up where you left off next time. Repetitive analysis routines, following the same steps again and again, can be automated with robust tools including templates.

Benefits

Organize your SPM image analysis (original images, particle analysis, statistics, force curve analysis etc.) on multiple pages and publish directly in different formats (PDF, Word and Excel). Ideal for sharing your work with colleagues, students, clients etc.

Benefits

Join our worldwide community of over 15,000 Mountains® users and choose the surface and image analysis software trusted by the leading manufacturers of microscopes and profilometers.
