Abstract
A conductive transparent probe used in a probe control apparatus for adjusting a distance between the apex of the probe and a sample by vibrating the probe with an vibrator in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the probe is provided. The conductive transparent probe includes: an optical fiber having a taper part at one end; a conductive transparent film formed on the surface of the taper part; a first metal film formed on the surface of the optical fiber other than the taper part; wherein the conductive transparent film and the first metal film are electrically connected, and length and thickness of the first metal film are determined such that the conductive transparent probe vibrates while contacting with the vibrator.
