Thanks Yeti,
Not sure if you understood it right. I meant the maximum z-coordinate that 
corresponds to a user-defined (constant) LDOS(E+dE,x,y,z). Basically, in STM 
the tip hoovers over a landscape with approximately constant LDOS. The goal is 
to convert volume data to topographical data.
Hope it helped.
regards
/J
