Title
Sahara Panorama
Technique
Atomic force microscopy
Description
When scanning the terraced surface of sapphire and triangular 2D MoS2 crystals I was very much reminded of the panorama in the Sahara desert: Look, a caravan moves on the crest of a dune through the remorseless heat of the high-standing sun. Fortunately, the oasis with some shadow-spending palm trees and the ancient pyramide is already near to get some rest. Hopefully, it is not a fata morgana!
