Description:
This project demonstrates the integration of remote instrumentation with a data flow visualization system. A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) at Beckman Institute, which can image and alter surfaces at atomic resolution, is remotely controlled from a workstation at Showcase, using a data flow visualization environment. A graphical user interface allows scientists to control STM imaging parameters, display the images as they are collected, and perform visualization of selected images. All operations local to the STM are supported via the remote interface.
