Special Add-Ons to the nanoREV
Sample XY Positioner
We have developed an STM sample stage equipped with a manual XY positioner (maximum travel range of 3.5 mm) and an additional oblique viewing port fitted with a 10× objective, which provides a significantly better view of the tip–sample approach region (not standard but an optional accessory)
