We are suppliers/manufacturers of all the widely used STM samples used by both, researchers and beginners, alike.

HowTO Videos

nanoREV^TM STM usage requires care and caution for its proper and long-term functioning. The videos below show a standard way of performing some of the critical procedures while using this instrument. These videos can be used for training a personnel on this setup.

We will not miss to mention a note-worthy comment from one of the co-developers of nanoREV^TM STM, Kundan Singh (IUAC, New Delhi), who was blessed with a baby boy around that time:

"Actually I have handled the STM with greater care than my new born baby!"

Scanning Probe Microscopy

nanoREV^TM STM - is a Scanning Tunneling Microscope for imaging surfaces at very high magnifications - down to the scale of individual atoms. The STM does this by mechanically scanning a pointed tip over the surface (sample to be scanned). Piezoelectric elements can provide the necessary infinitesimal translations of the tip.

The exponential dependence of tunneling current and the separation between the tip and the sample give the STMs its remarkable sensitivity.
