environment is not fully known. Here we present a further technical development that substantially improves the effectiveness of HCM. By adding OculusRift virtual reality goggles to our HCM set-up we provide the experimentalist with 3D visual feedback that displays the currently executed trajectory and the
advantages of the set-up are demonstrated by applying it to the model problem of the extraction of an individual PTCDA molecule from its hydrogen-bonded monolayer grown on Ag(111) surface.
Keywords: non-contact atomic force microscopy (NC-AFM); OculusRift; perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride
trajectory data should therefore greatly increase the effectiveness of HCM and extend the range of its possible applications. Here we introduce a system that visualizes HCM data in real time by displaying the actual tip position as well as the history of its movements in 3D using OculusRift DK 2 (ORt
