Abstract
We describe a simple scanning tunneling microscope (STM) which works well from room temperature to 4 K. It is relatively easy to build, repair, or modify, and works very reliably. An unusual feature of our STM is that it is assembled without glues or solders. A list of suppliers of the components used in our STM is included in the references.Keywords
