Images were plane and offset-subtracted using WSxM (Nanotec Electronica, http://www.nanotec.es) and XPMPro (RHK, http://www.rhktech.com) to correct for piezo drift and were then converted to grayscale TIFF images using Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Photoshop. No other processing was performed on the images unless stated otherwise.
