22. Our home-made TERS works well in high vacuum. It is difficult to perform the investigation on TERCs from TER spectra at ambient conditions because of two reasons: Firstly, the high vacuum is difficult to recover well once it has been adjusted to ambient conditions. Secondly, we are afraid that our home-made HV-TERS would be damaged in these processes.
