UNIQUE SCANNING TUNNELING MICROSCOPE DESIGNED & MADE IN CANADIAN UNIVERSITY A FEW YEARS AFTER FIRST INVENTION OF STM IN 1981. TEAM AT DALHOUSIE MADE TWO DIFFERENT STMS IN 1986 & USED THEM FOR NUMEROUS EXPERIMENTS, PARTICULARLY EXPERIMENTS RELATING TO MICROBIOLOGY. - Function
-
DEVICE FOR STUDYING & IMAGING INDIVIDUAL ATOMS ON SURFACES OF MATERIALS, BASED ON TUNNELING OF ELECTRONS BETWEEN TIP OF PROBE & SURFACE OF SAMPLE. - Technical
-
STM, WHICH ENABLED SCIENTISTS TO SEE ATOMS, WAS INVENTED IN EARLY 1980'S BY BINNIG & ROHRER (OF IBM ZURICH), WHO WERE AWARDED 1986 NOBEL PRIZE IN PHYSICS. THIS ONE IS 2ND OF TWO DIFFERENT & UNIQUE DEVICES DEVELOPED IN 1985-1986 IN PHYSICS DEPT. OF DALHOUSIE UNIV. THIS VERSION USED THREE IDENTICAL BIMORPH PIEZOELECTRIC DISKS AS X,Y,Z TRANSLATOR DRIVE ELEMENTS. - Area Notes
