About:
Gwyddion is a modular program for SPM (Scanning Probe Microscopy) data analysis and visualization. It supports various data file formats and provides tools for data processing, grain detection, and surface roughness characterization. Its extensible architecture allows users to develop custom plugins and scripts for specialized analysis tasks.
Key Features:
  • Support for multiple SPM data formats (e.g., .spm, .ibw, .gwy)
  • Extensive data processing and filtering tools
  • Advanced 3D visualization and surface rendering
  • Modular plugin architecture for custom extensions
Use Cases:
  • Analyzing surface roughness and topography from AFM data
  • Visualizing and processing nanoscale microscopy datasets
  • Developing custom analysis algorithms via Python bindings
Alternatives:
  • Gatan Microscopy Suite – Commercial suite for general electron microscopy, less focused on SPM data
  • ImageJ/Fiji – General-purpose image analysis, lacks native SPM format support and specialized tools
