摘要：

For scanning tunneling microscopy of biological samples a thin, sharp tip is necessary to resolve the highly corrugated structures of biomacromolecules. By DC etching of tungsten wire in NaOH we obtain tip radii of 5 nm or less in more than 50% of all cases. For tunneling in fluids these tips are insulated by a wax-coating to minimize faradaic currents. Resulting leakage currents are in the range of 5 to 50 pA.
