State of the art Scanning Tunneling Microscopes (STM) are inherently limited in their continuous measurement time by their cryocooling systems, making the acquisition of high resolution differential conductivity maps and other time consuming experiments challenging.

Gifford-McMahom (GM) cryocoolers [1] feature an extremely long hold time [2], but tend to introduce a degree of vibration which aggravates their use in scanning probe techniques.

In this homebuilt STM, we decouple a GM crycooler from the microscope head using a two-frame support system.

Performance tests indicate sufficient vibration suppression to perform high-quality STM measurements that can last as long as the cryocooler can operate.

Such extended hold-time STM's open the possiblity of investigating novel surfaces with unprecedented resolution and extended parameter spaces.
