A patent for the new photon scanning tunneling microscopy (PSTM) is described in this paper, called the Tunneling Scanning Image Separation Method and Instrument. We call the new instrument described here the Image Separated-PSTM (IS-PSTM). There may be some false image information with the first generation PSTM in the mixed image of the topography and refractive index of a general optical sample. With this new method and instrument we can eliminate this false image information and separate the surface topography image and the distribution image of varying refractive indices of a general optical sample from a mixed image of PSTM.
