Classroom Use: Not used in classroom

Comment: This applet illustrates the principle of the operation of a scanning tunneling
microscope very well. Some more explanation on the theory behind the STM would
be helpful. Also, the applet could run a little slower so that the user would
have an easier time keeping the current constant.
