This is a specialized GUI app for visualizing and importing data from an '.ibw' image file generated by AFM machines of Asylum research(e.g. Cypher, MFP-3D).

The colormap and scale of each image are automatically set. The default setting is ...
surface morphology - Mocha
amplitude - gray (Black is assigned for zero amplitude)
phase - HSV (-90 deg to 270 deg.)
frequency - JET
otherwise - red-white-blue(White is assigned for zero)

Adding or removing the channel names as titles, colorbars, and scalebars are supported.
Your image note and a brief summary of measurement conditions are displayed:
scan size, scan rate, scan angle, driving amplitudes and frequencies, and AmpInvOLS.

How to use -
Run the app, and load an .ibw file.

Useful Notes)
The bottom left corners of the images correspond to (x,y)=(1,1)
All axes(=ax) are set to be
set(ax, 'YDir', 'normal'); % OR % axis xy
