Dear Judy,

I do not know about the parameters you are asking about, however, I just wanted to note you that you should be aware of tip convolution effects in AFM measurements. I do not know the size of your particles and the tip dimensions but, in principle, the height of the particle would be a more reliable measurement than its lateral dimensions as in the later the tip convolution effects will be more marked.

Regards,
Luis

Hi,
I'm working on a project where particles are collected and imaged using the AFM. I've been getting myself familiar with Gwyddion software. My goal is to be able to quantify the particles using the grain properties tools but since I'm working with multiple particles, I need to normalized their properties in order to compare them. So far, I saw people done 2-D parameters such as elongation, convexity, circularity, etc. Does anyone know what are the 3-D parameters? I think comparing the ratios of the major and minor semiaxis of equivalent ellipse with the mean height will give me some sort of elongation. For convexity (surface roughness), in 2-D it is a ratio between the particle area and the total area. Is projected area the total area? And is the surface area actually the particle area? I'd like to translate this to 3-D ratio.

Thanks,
