Abstract
A simple, compact, low temperature scanning tunneling microscope system is described which can easily be incorporated into pre-existing ultrahigh vacuum chambers designed around a centrally located sample. Cooling is achieved by the transfer of a cryogenic fluid from an external commercial Dewar to the bottom of a cold finger, where the sample and a beetle-type microscope are mounted. Details of the microscope operation with liquid nitrogen are given.Keywords
