摘要：

Thin films of insulating molecules (n-C36H74) absorbed on graphite have been studied using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). By imaging the boundary of second layer islands in various conditions, we demonstrate that the contrast observed in STM images of these films is dominated by elastic deformations of substrate. The relief in these images may strongly differs from the real topography of the film.
