Abstract
We present a technique in which the intrinsic stability of a break jun ction is combined with the scanning and spectroscopical possibilities of a Scanning Tunneling Microscope. It is possible to obtain atomic re solution on metal surfaces at cryogenic temperatures. A discussion of the new possibilities of this device is presented.
