Popis: A new method and original experimental setup for visualizing nanoobjects are presented. The setup developed makes it possible to obtain a shadow nanoobject image on a luminescence screen with a magnification of 106, ensure real visualization of carbon nanotube nucleation and growth, and provide controlled positioning of nanocontacts within 0.2–0.4 nm. An example of positioning of a cantilever tip with respect to a carbon nanotube spiral end is considered.
