Abstract
An ultrahigh‐vacuum (UHV) system for STM studies is described where a home‐built STM is combined with a novel facility for in situ exchange of samples and tips. Technical details concerning the design of the sample and tip holders and the manipulation and storage equipment are given. For the preparation of organic films a compact evaporation source comprising two ovens with an excellent thermal insulation was constructed. First STM results of a coronene film on graphite and of tungsten diselenide are presented.
