Abstract
The fusion-welded nanotube surface signal probe of the present invention is constructed from a nanotube, a holder which holds the nanotube, a fusion-welded part fastening a base end portion of the nanotube to a surface of the holder by fusion-welding, a tip end portion of the nanotube being caused to protrude from the holder; and the tip end portion is used as a probe needle so as to scan surface signals. This fusion-welded nanotube surface signal probe can be used as a probe in AFM (Atomic Force Microscope), STM (Scanning Tunneling Microscope), other SPM (Scanning Probe icroscope) and so on.
