"The GXSM software is a powerful graphical interface for any kind of 2D and up to 4D (timed and multilayered 2D mode) data acquisition methods,
but especially designed for SPM and SPA-LEED, which are used in surface science. …"

"OpenSPM aims to democratize innovation in the field of scanning probe microscopy (SPM), which is currently dominated by a few proprietary, closed systems that limit user-driven development. Our platform includes a high-speed OpenAFM head and base optimized for small cantilevers, an OpenAFM controller, a high-voltage amplifier, and interfaces compatible with several commercial AFM systems such as the Bruker Multimode, Nanosurf DriveAFM, Witec Alpha SNOM, Zeiss FIB-SEM XB550, and Nenovision Litescope."
Note: From the listed examples it seems there is a current (2025) focus on ambient condition SPM systems, not UHV or cryo systems.

"Gwyddion is a modular program for SPM (scanning probe microscopy) data visualization and analysis.
Primarily it is intended for the analysis of height fields obtained by scanning probe microscopy techniques
(AFM, MFM, STM, SNOM/NSOM) and it supports a lot of SPM data formats. "
