C60 molecules adsorbed to Cu(100) are contacted with the tip of a cryogenic scanning tunneling microscope. Images with submolecular resolution reveal distinct orientations of the molecules. We find that the orientation significantly affects the conductance of the contact despite the high symmetry of C60.
