A scanning tunnelling microscopic study was made of the Ir(110) surface. Several structures such as the (1 x 1), (1 x 3), (1 x 4) and the c(2 x 2) reconstruction were found under different preparation conditions. These structures were also investigated using low-energy electron diffraction. Surface cleanliness was checked with Auger electron spectroscopy.
