PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of manufacturing an acute probe made of iridium, easy to handle, for the observation of a scanning tunneling microscope. SOLUTION: In this method of manufacturing the probe made of iridium, used in the scanning tunneling microscope(STM), a calcium chloride solution incorporated with acetone is used as an electrolyte, and a parallel plate type electrodes made of graphite are used as opposed electrodes in electrolytic grinding to manufacture the acute probe made of iridium, easy to handle, by an electrolytic polishing method.
