We present the setup and characterization measurements of a newly built ultra high vacuum (UHV) 300 mK scanning tunneling microscope (STM). The used cryostat is a bottom loading 3He single shot system equipped with a 9T superconducting magnet and connected to a three-chamber UHV system. The UHV system gives the possibility to prepare, store and analyze tips and samples and mount them in the STM without breaking the UHV conditions.
Furthermore, we show the very high spatial resolution as well as the very high long-term stability of the STM system with measurements on standard samples and investigations on the iron pnictide superconductor LiFeAs.
Additionally, we have performed scanning tunneling spectroscopic measurements with a superconducting Niobium tip to show that the energy resolution of the STM at base temperature is close to the thermal limit.
