Coarse tip distance adjustment and positioner for a scanning tunneling microscope

Abstract
We report on a new coarse tip distance adjustment and positioner for a scanning tunneling microscope, which was designed with ease of sample manipulation and UHV compatibility in mind. It has no mechanical connections in UHV and has been successfully used for measurements of microfaceted platinumsurfaces in air and cleaved Si(111) surfaces under liquids.
