Abstract
A tunneling microscope that is a hybrid between IBM Zurich designs and squeezable tunnel junctions has been operated in air, oil, and liquid nitrogen. Key design goals were (1) maximum rigidity and (2) minimum thermal drift. Images of individual atoms in a close packed layer have been obtained under liquid nitrogen.Keywords
