STM has provided us incredible pictures, to me it's like the James Webb of the microscopic world
STM is awfully difficult to use (to have good images I intend) but you can do electronic spectroscopies, move atoms, observe surfaces etc. with it

As someone who has done a fair bit of SEM, TEM, and AFM, I’d love to play with an STM.

I built my first STM in 1985. They are totally bitchen' instruments.

if you have it, would you please share the legend and data with us, so we can see the resolution, the conductance over relative displacement, hence the "height" profile over distance.

Did anyone else think of a Donkey Kong console?

Can anybody explain the (a x b) notation in surface reconstruction? I remember it from a class in epitaxy but it was never explained very well and my reading never explained it either. It was always "this is obviously a Si 7x7 surface"
