Tunneling Microscope Tip


Recommended Posts

Hi, i have read with great interest on what tunneling microscopes are capable of doing. But what i cant find out is how the the hell that tip is made, and from what, it is claimed that the end of the tip has thickness of only one atom, an amazing achievment if i may say so. So does anybody know how it is made.
