De l’intersubjectivité à l’interinstrumentalité. L’exemple de la physique des surfaces

Abstracts

Our aim in this article is to show how a strategy used in the experimental sciences, strategy that we named “inter-instrumentation”, can minimize the role of micro and macro-sociological factors when one tries to understand how the debates about the interpretation of the data come to an end. To defend our point of view, we will present two examples: an historical example – the invention, of the Scanning Tunneling Microscope – and an example collected during an ethnographic study in a surface science laboratory. We would like to emphasize that inter-instrumentation contributes to the objectivity of the experimental results and constitutes a part of it as well as intersubjectivity.
