Friends
the reply I had from George about Wiley, bosses etc.. pushed me to call some of my former PhD students to check if they still had the paper - 3 of them replied immediately sending the scanned version of the paper.
I uploaded it on Research Gate so now a Bioimaging paper - without  Wiley’s CEO autograph - is available at

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/246911638_A_cross-measurement_procedure_CMP_for_imaging_of_biological_specimens_by_means_of_scanning_tunnelling_microscopy_STM

In case you have difficulties with Research Gate I can send you the paper upon request.

The paper deals with(it was 1994):

The complexity both of the measurements and of the specimens, when scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) is applied in biology, requires a careful analysis of the data in order to avoid the classification of artifacts as peculiarities of the sample. The potential for determining the structures of biomolecules and their complexes emphasizes the relevance of developing procedures for STM image enhancement. Some software procedures have focused attention on the correction of geometrical distortion arising in STM images. It is our opinion that the application of such procedures may become very difficult when the real images are surfaces different from those used for calibration, i.e. graphite or mica. We have developed a procedure for reducing artifacts in STM and for providing image enhancement. It can be considered a noise filter that can restore the real images without knowledge of noise type and of noise ratio. We have termed it cross-measurement procedure (CMP). CMP can be considered as a mixing of software and hardware procedures. In fact, it is based on two measurements of the same image performed by exchanging the x and y axes and the origin.
