Mykhailo Vybornyi, Alexander Rudnev, and Robert Häner of the chemistry department of Berne university used the Nanosurf Flex-Axiom system to characterize extra-large nanosheets assembled from Pyrene molecules ( Chem. Mater., 2015, 27, 1426–31). The sheets reached sizes of over 10µm in diameter. Imaging was carried out in dynamic mode. Data were processed with the SPIP image processing and 3D visualization software by Image Metrology.
