A tip-scanning mechanism for use in a scanning tunneling microscope uses three drivers for driving a probe tip in three perpendicular directions. The drivers each consist of a piezoelectric element. In accordance with the invention, these three drivers are each shaped into a sheet, and the three sheets are stacked on top of each other. Two of the three drivers produce strains parallel to both faces of the drivers when a voltage is applied across the faces of each driver. Thus, rapid scans can be made without producing distortion.
