Image Metrology

Image Metrology, creator of the renowned SPIP™ (Scanning Probe Image Processor) software, is now part of Digital Surf, the developer of Mountains® surface and image analysis software. For many years, SPIP™ was one of the world’s leading and most advanced tools for processing and analyzing microscopic images at the nano- and microscale. Since becoming a Digital Surf subsidiary in 2014, Image Metrology has contributed its expertise to the development of MountainsSPIP®, the next-generation SPM (image) analysis software. Based on the industry-standard Mountains® platform and enhanced with the best SPIP™ interactivity and analytical tools, MountainsSPIP® was released in 2019. From January 2020, SPIP™ has no longer been marketed or updated. Many SPIP™ users have since transitioned to MountainsSPIP® to benefit from continuous innovation, compatibility with all major SPM instrument formats, and ongoing support. Our mission has always been to advance metrology in imaging — delivering powerful, accurate tools for measurement and analysis at the nano- and microscale. Today, our expertise lives on in the continuous evolution of MountainsSPIP®. Together with international research partners, the R&D teams at Digital Surf continue to develop new and innovative software tools for the analysis of SPM, AFM and STM data, as well as spectroscopy data such as Force Spectroscopy and I-V curves.
