This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project seeks to expose students in physics and chemistry to modern research areas by developing an inexpensive scanning tunneling microscope. The microscope will be accompanied by companion courseware suitable for use in introductory undergraduate physics and chemistry laboratories. The Phase I research will include two major tasks: the search for the most suitable design for an ambient-atmosphere STM intended for inexpensive mass production and reliable operation, and the identification of a set of interesting and important samples which are stable in air. Interaction with academic publishers, curriculum developers, faculty and students will help guide the project and assess the feasibility of the planned instrument and courseware.

这个小型企业创新研究第一阶段项目旨在通过开发一种廉价的扫描隧道显微镜，使物理和化学专业的学生接触到现代研究领域。显微镜将随附适合本科生物理和化学实验室入门使用的配套教学软件。第一阶段的研究将包括两项主要任务：寻找最适合用于廉价大规模生产和可靠操作的环境大气扫描隧道显微镜的设计，以及确定一组在空气中稳定的有趣和重要的样品。与学术出版商、课程开发者、教职员工和学生的互动将有助于指导该项目，并评估计划中的仪器和课件的可行性。
