The images provided by a scanning microscopes show diffraction patterns product of the scanning mechanism. Those are complicated to analyze without computational help, I tried to find a simple way to make it easier, applying an automatic method. I have used some of the tools included in the image processing toolbox of Maple to analyze patterns which are commonly found in the images provided by the scanning microscopes, to make interpretation easier for the ones that want to analyze the image. I consider that, for how simple and opened it is, the method I developed may be useful for the people interested in the applications and further research related to analyzing scanning microscope images.
