Image SXM
Finds and displays sites of local 5-fold or 10-fold symmetry. The coordinates of these sites, the radii of the pentagonal/decagonal rings of atoms found, the positions of the atoms, and the contrast levels measured are stored and displayed in the Results window. A simulation of the quasicrystal tiling can be produced by displaying either circles of the same sizes as the pentagonal/decagonal rings of atoms or circles at the atom positions (or both). The intensities of the circles displayed are proportional to the contrast levels measured. Press the option key to bypass the dialog box.
