Scanned probe microscopes (SPM) have been widely used for studying the structure of a variety material surfaces and thin films. Interpretation of SPM images, however, remains a debatable subject at best. Unlike electron microscopes (EMs) where diffraction patterns and images regularly provide data on lattice spacings and angles within 1-2% and ∽1° accuracy, our experience indicates that lattice distances and angles in raw SPM images can be off by as much as 10% and ∽6°, respectively. Because SPM images can be affected by processes like the coupling between fast and slow scan direction, hysteresis of piezoelectric scanner, thermal drift, anisotropic tip and sample interaction, etc., the causes for such a large discrepancy maybe complex even though manufacturers suggest that the correction can be done through only instrument calibration.We show here that scanning repulsive force microscope (SFM or AFM) images of freshly cleaved mica, a substrate material used for thin film studies as well as for SFM instrument calibration, are distorted compared with the lattice structure expected for mica.

This work presents a method for settling the following ongoing debate: is the GeV emission of powerful blazars produced inside the sub-pc size broad line region (BLR) or further out at scales of ~ 10 pc where the IR photon field of the dusty molecular torus dominates over that the UV field of the BLR? In the first case the GeV emission is most probably external Compton (EC) scattering of the ~ 10 eV BLR photons21, while in the second the seed photons for the EC GeV emission are the ~ 0.1 eV photons of the dust9 in the molecular torus8. The issue of the energy dissipation location is connected to the jet formation and collimation process25 and, as we argue here, can be resolved with Fermi spectral variability observations.
