Using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy we investigate the electron transport through atomic-scale contacts from the tunnelling range to ballistic transport. The experiments aim at maximizing the control over the junction properties and probe conductances, forces, shot-noise and the emission of photons. Recent results from metallic and molecular junctions will be presented.
