• developing a reliable deconvolution scheme shifts the focus towards how to access the actual transmission probability function. Keywords: deconvolution; Nb DOS; STM; STS; Introduction Undoubtedly, the power of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is based on its capability to map the surface topology of a
