Description: Scanning Tunnelling Microscope (STM) image of PTCDA molecules adsorbed on a Graphite surface. The logo of the Center for NanoScience (CeNS) in Munich, Germany, was written with the STM tip by reducing the tip-sample distance (compared to the imaging distance) and moving the tip along predefined vectors (nanomanipulation paths). This action removed molecules from the adsorbate layer along the manipulation paths. Line width of the STM written Logo: 1-3 nm. Image processing Software: SPIP; 3D enhancement was applied.
