By the way, in the case of, for example, a tunnel microscope, it is necessary to bring the probe closer to the sample up to the region where the tunnel current can be detected, but the distance is on the order of nm as described above. , Sometimes it is necessary to bring them up to a distance of a few angstroms.
Moreover, this approach must be performed without the probe colliding with the sample. Therefore, the approach to the region where the final tunnel current is detected needs to be performed very slowly, which inevitably limits the speedup of the second step. Therefore, in order to speed up the approach, in the first step, the approach step is performed as fast as possible without danger of collision, thereby shortening the approach distance performed in the second step, and as a result, It is necessary to shorten the time required for the approach. However, there is a problem that the visual approach can approach only a few hundreds of μm at the most, and the risk of collision is extremely high even when approaching a few hundreds of μm.

As a result, the probe can be made to approach at a high speed without colliding even closer than the conventional visual inspection method. Thereafter, for example, in the case of a tunnel microscope, the approach is performed in the second step until the tunnel current is detected.
