We will present our recent results obtained on the new Scienta-Omicron low temperature ultra-high vacuum 4-probe STM (LT-Nanoprobe). Firstly, we will show our methodology for fine relative positioning of two STM probes on Ge(001) and Ge(001):H surfaces with unprecedented atomic precision and with a lateral exact probe to probe distance below 50 nm. Moreover, we will discuss our design of the 2-probe experiment, which allows a direct testing of the electronic transport through atomic-scale structures in a fully planar geometry. That will be shown on an example of a model system: bare Ge dimer wire supported on Ge(001) and Ge(001):H surface. In this case we determine ballistic transport regimes in the atomic wire by systematic 2-probe experiments on the probe to probe distances below 50 nm.
