17. For periodic lattices all unit cells in the raw data can be used to create a single averaged unit cell with increased signal-to-noise ratio. For a better visualization of the periodicity we tiled a new image together from this averaged unit cell. In line sections taken from averaged images dashed lines indicate the upper and lower bounds of the standard deviation after the averaging procedure.
18. How we can exclude an oscillatory noise as an artificial origin for the modulation is described in the SI of Ref..
19. We can exclude an artifact due to a slow z -feedback regulation, because the asymmetric slopes are found independent of the scan direction.
