mage SXM is a version of the public domain image analysis software NIH Image that has been extended to handle the loading, display and analysis of scanning microscope images. Image SXM supports SAM, SCM, SEM, SFM, SLM, SNOM, SPM and STM images from the following systems:
• Burleigh Instruments
• Digital Instruments NanoScope II/III/IV
• DME Rasterscope/Surface Data File
• Gatan DigitalMicrograph
• JEOL JSM/WinSem/WinSPM
• JPK Instruments
• Klocke Nanotechnik Atomikro
• Leica TCS
• LEO SEM
• Molecular Imaging PicoScan
• Nanotec Electronica WSxM
• Noran Instruments Vantage
• NT-MDT
• Omicron SCALA
• Oxford Instruments TOPSystem
• Park Scientific Instruments HFS-LIF/HDF
• Philips SEM
• Quesant Instruments
• RHK Technology SPM-32
• Seiko Instruments (SIINT) SPI
• ThermoMicroscopes
• TopoMetrix SPMLab
• Unisoku
• Vacuum Generators SAM
• WA Technology
• Zeiss LSM
In addition, the following non-SXM file formats are also supported:
• AVI
• Bio-Rad
• BMP
• FITS
• Omicron SPA-LEED
• PDSF
• PDSS
• Philips APD
• SBIG CCD
• SM-Camera
• SPEC
• Targa TGA
• UBM
• Wyko OPD
If users would like to see more file formats supported, then I am open to suggestions.
What's New:
Added features:
Support has been added for Nanonics Imaging Quartz STM and SNOM images.
Support has been added for Hamamatsu Image Sequence files with 8, 12 or 16-bit data.
Bug fixes:
Loading PICT images with colour LUTs could result in blank windows under Mac OS X (this was not a problem under OS 9).
Other changes:
The 'Open' dialog box now has a button to open all files in a folder.
The drag corner of rectangular regions of interest (ROIs) and the handles of line ROIs have been enlarged.
Changes to macros:
The macro command 'FFT' now also works on line profiles.

Image SXM is an image analysis software specialized in scanning microscope images. It is based on the public domain softwareNIH Image (now ImageJ from the National Institutes of Health) and extended to handle scanning microscope images, especially of the SxM formats (SAM, SCM, SEM, SFM, SLM, SNOM, SPM, STM), hence its name.
Features[edit]
Image SXM supports image stacks, a series of images that share a single window. It can calculate area and pixel value statistics of user-defined selections and intensity thresholded objects. It can measure distances and angles. It can create density histograms and line profile plots. It supports standard image processing functions such as logical and arithmetical operations between images, contrast manipulation, convolution, Fourier analysis, sharpening, smoothing, edge detection and median filtering. It does geometric transformations such as image scaling, rotation and flips. The program supports any number of images simultaneously, limited only by available memory.
History[edit]
Image SXM is based upon a similar freeware image analysis program known as NIH Image (that had been developed by the National Institutes of Health for Macintosh computers running pre-Mac OS X operating systems), now become ImageJ.

- ^FAQ'Q: Is Image SXM public domain? Is it freeware? Is it shareware? A: Image SXM is a version of the public domain application NIH Image and is distributed freely to anyone interested in using it. Image SXM is not public domain because the source code is not distributed with the application (this is part of the definition of public domain).'
