Week+of+Oct+27


 * Monday, Oct 27**

Today, I finally succeed in getting images from STM. I made a new tip and I think it worked better than the last time since I paid careful attention when cutting the tip. Plus, the easyscan program thing worked fine too. One of the problems that we faced was we had set point of m instead of A. It turned out to be that it was the window problem. I logged as a guest instead of QN_admin. So that affected to the registry of the program and we were unable to get an image.

The image was pretty flat as it can be seen below. The image was then zoomed in for more details.

Moreover, I did the approximation of carbon bond length again since we could barely see the details in the last image. As shown below, I mainly used the Pythagoras' Theorem in order to solve for x. I print-screened the best simulated image than played around at PAINT which is located at an accessory section. Then I drew the grid line in order to get the rough approximation of the length of x and y axis. Whole steps can be easily understood by seeing the image below.
