ARgyle™ – Built-in Advanced 3D Rendering and Data Analysis Capabilities

The MFP-3D System software is based in IGOR Pro, a powerful data and acquisition analysis program that allows users to customize the interface. Now, generating, displaying and visualizing your AFM images – and in real time – has never been more powerful.

ARgyle™ – 3D Image Viewing
ARgyle, a built-in software enhancement to the MFP-3D System software, allows many advanced 3D viewing capabilities all while scanning samples in real time, and for offline analysis:

• Advanced OpenGL® rendering technology provides extensive capabilities utilizing the latest advances made by video card manufacturers.

• View images in 3D by simply clicking and dragging on the image to pan, rotate, tilt and zoom into specific areas of the image.

• Multiple images and channels of a single scan such as phase, amplitude, topography, MFM, conductivity may be opened and viewed simultaneously, or overlaid on a primary channel for signal correlation (see the image to the right).

• Independent scaling of each axis allows adjustment of aspect ratios to best represent your data. Now view your data with a 1:1 aspect ratio to visually compare height structures with scan size.

• Enhanced lighting effects provide shadowing on surfaces as the light is rotated. Specular highlighting creates reflection that enhances the features of surface roughness.

• Many color tables, along with a color table editor, provide optimal data rendering for stunning presentations.

• Files may be exported to the clipboard or saved as JPEG, PNG, BMP, TIFF, or other files.

• Render your 3D AFM images in “stereo” as an anaglyph. Red/cyan glasses allow the AFM image to appear with true depth perception. Email us to get a pair of 3D glasses to view the AFM images in "stereo" (right image below).
