We present an improved method for fabricating tungsten STM tips for measuring nanoscale objects using a multiprobe STM. The tips were prepared by a 'drop-off' technique combined with a magnetic field. For magnetic field strengths above 150 Oe the electrolyte was seen to rotate about the tungsten anode. This rotation reduced the adhesion of bubbles and led to a reduction in the cone angle of the tips produced. This property is advantageous for multiprobe measurements as it allows one to bring multiple tips into close proximity.
