Summary

The authors have constructed an ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunneling microscope for operation in the temperature range 20-300 K. The design consists of a vibration isolated sample holder mounted on a continuous flow cryostat. To minimize helium convection in the cryostat, the entire vacuum system, including a liquid helium storage dewar, can be tilted by a few degrees perpendicular to the cryostat axis, which improves the operation.
