STM images showing the growth of islands at 533K. Coverage increases from 0 to 0.1 ML at a rate of approximately 0.01 monolayers deposited per frame. The movie begins with the clean substrate before deposition. At this temperature 1-D islands form and coalesce. Size= 800 × 800 Å Frame Rate= 1/33min.
