Omicron Nano-Technologies VT UHV SPM Scanning Tunelling Microscope

The Variable Temperature Scanning Tunneling Microscope system combines the power of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) which allows observations at nanometer scale of conducting and semiconducting surfaces with the capability to control sample temperatures from 25 K to 1500 K in an ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) environment.
