This lecture covers the principles of piezo scanners and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). It explains the use of sensors for precise positioning, feedback mechanisms in STM, and the challenges in achieving nanometer resolution. The lecture also discusses the impact of vibrations, thermal stability, and tip characteristics on imaging quality.
