Scanning tunneling microscope light emitting/condensing device

摘要

An object is to provide a light collecting device for scanning tunneling microscope emission spectroscopy which has a higher light collective efficiency in vacuum without sacrifice in a high spatial resolution provided by the STM.The light collecting device for scanning tunneling microscope emission spectroscopy comprises a scanning tunneling microscope, and a plurality of optical fibers (2) radially disposed around a scanning tunneling microscope probe (1) with the tip end of the probe (1) as the center so as to collect light emission in operating this microscope.
