... the scanning thermal microscope ... The microscope's probe may be the world's tiniest thermometer: it can measure surface-temperature variations of a ten-thousandth of a degree on a scale of tens of nanometers. The probe consists of a tungsten wire ending in a point perhaps 30 nanometers across. The wire is coated with a second metal, nickel, which is separated from the tungsten by a layer of insulator everywhere except at the tip of the probe. The tungsten-nickel junction acts as a thermocouple, generating a voltage proportional to its temperature. 2, record 1, English, - scanning%20thermal%20microscope
