23. Note that the apparent height values can only be compared within the same STM image. The values differ substantially depending on tip state or bias voltage used for scanning. This is due to the significant influence of electronic effects on such values.

33. Intramolecular resolution was obtained in some of these cases, but did not show such excellent agreement with calculated molecular orbitals of isolated molecule due to significant interaction with the metal surface.
