-
as they're called, that you can use.
-
Here's a higher resolution electron micrograph
-
that shows the tip of one of these v's,
-
and you see a little bulge here, at the bottom,
-
and if you zoom in on that you see this; it's a little pyramid.
-
And so at the bottom of that pyramid
-
the radius of curvature of this tip is only about twenty nanometers,
-
so about the size of twenty molecules.
-
It's round on the tip, it's not truly pointed
-
and come to nothing; it's a little bit rounded.
-
You can buy ones that are a third that size,
-
their radius of curvature.
