Abstract
EC-STM directly visualizes atomic structures of solid surfaces and a variety of adsorbates thereon in electrolyte solutions. The working principle is based on electron tunneling, being the same as STM: the tunneling current flowing between the sample surface and atomically sharp tip is probed.
