Our molecules seemed to be stabilized better, but still made occasional noises, and some of them were difficult to distinguish from the height signal, which is consistent with our model. As shown in Figure 2d, the domain is highest around the center. We plotted this highest value as the height of the domains without averaging the height over each domain, which may cause the scattering of the data.

Schönenberger et al. adopted a tunneling resistance larger than 300 GΩ for nondestructive imaging of C12 in air. We believe that the probing tip is very close to the C12 molecules under our observation condition; however, since we measure in a vacuum, we have less invisible adsorbates such as the surface water layer, which could mediate forces leading to the destruction of the film structure.
