A conductive probe for a scanning type microscope that captures the substance information of the surface of a specimen by the tip end of a conductive nanotube probe needle fastened to a cantilever, in which the conductive probe is constructed from a conductive film formed on the surface of the cantilever, a conductive nonatube with its base end portion being fixed in contact which the surface of a predetermined of the cantilever, and a conductive deposit which fastens the conductive nanotube by covering from the base end portion of the nonatube to a part of the conductive film. The conductive nonatube and the conductive film are electrically connected to each other by the conductive deposit. |
