MUSEUM of SCANNING PROBE MICROSCOPY and NANOTECHNOLOGY

• Milestones on Scanning Probe Microscopy development.
   
• Founding Fathers of Scanning Probe Microscopy.
   
• First russian Scanning Probe Microscopes.

The organizers of a Museum beforehand apologize for incompleteness of an exposition and ask the visitors of a Museum to send the remarks and exhibits.

First models of Scanning Probe Microscopes in Russia.

First Scanning Tunneling Microscope in Zelenograde. First Scanning Tunneling Microscope in Zelenograde (and firstScanning Tunneling Technological Microscope in Russia) was developed andproduced in 1987 by Vladimir Kirillovitch Nevolin, professor of MoscowState Institute of Electronic Technology, Doctor of Science. The history ofthe microscope creation is told by prof. Nevolin in his memoirs.

First scaning tunneling microscope of model STM-MDT-1-90 was degigned in 1990 by MDT firm (at that time NT-MDT firm was so colled). For base the design of Ranov-Yaminscy microscope was taken, which in turn in main features repeated the design of Binnig and Rohrer. Programme and electronic control unit were of own develpment, at that control unit was prodused on base domestically produced componentry. Up to now this microscope duly operates in Institute of Cristallography RAS (laboratory of liquid crystals, head of lab. L.M. Blinov).
