Abstract
The author discusses the use of the scanning tunnelling microscope as a spectroscopic tool. Several methods of obtaining spectroscopic information are reviewed. The strengths and weaknesses of scanning tunnelling microscopy are discussed in comparison with more conventional surface spectroscopy techniques.Keywords
