Title:
【発明の名称】生体試料観察用走査型トンネル顕微鏡
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH0756443
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
An environment controllable scanning probe microscope (SPM), such as a scanning tunneling microscope (STM), atomic force microscope (AFM), etc., in which the gaseous environment of the sample during the observation is controllable. That is, the gas surrounding the sample can be replaced to a desired one and the pressure can be set to a desired value. The SPM is suited for observing biological samples because biological samples may deteriorate under a reduced pressure and the surface topography at such high magnification is vulnerable to contamination from the environment.
