Vibration Isolation System for a Scanning Tunneling Microscope

This senior project is a continuation of a master’s thesis by Toan Le. Our objective is to design a product that can isolate a scanning tunneling microscope from ambient vibrations so that it can take accurate atomic resolution images. The scope of our project is to expand upon previous design work already completed, and manufacture, test and validate Mr. Le’s designs as well as our own.
