CANADIAN DR ROBERT WOLKOW WORKED IN USA WHEN HE DESIGNED THIS MICROSCOPE; HE IS NOW AT STEACIE INSTITUTE FOR MOLECULAR SCIENCE, OF NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL OF CANADA.
Function
INSTRUMENT USED TO STUDY & IMAGE INDIVIDUAL ATOMS ON SURFACES OF MATERIALS, BASED ON TUNNELING OF ELECTRONS BETWEEN TIP OF PROBE & SURFACE OF SAMPLE.
Technical
EXAMPLE OF SCANNING TUNNELING MICROSCOPE CAPABLE OF OPERATION OVER TEMPERATURE RANGE OF APPROX. 80-350 K. IN ULTRAHIGH VACUUM. SCANNING TUNNELING MICROSCOPE, WHICH ENABLED SCIENTISTS TO SEE ATOMS, WAS INVENTED IN EARLY 1980S BY BINNIG & ROHRER (OF IBM ZURICH), WHO RECEIVED NOBEL PRIZE IN PHYSICS IN 1986. SEE 2001.0005 & 2001.0006 SCANNING TUNNELING MICROSCOPES FROM DALHOUSIE UNIVERSITY - MID 1980'S INSTRUMENTS FOR USE AT ROOM TEMPERATURES.
