We investigate atomic and electronic structures of the intriguing lowtemperature phase of IrTe2 using high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopyand spectroscopy. We confirm various stripe superstructures such as $\times$3,$\times$5, and $\times$8. The strong vertical and lateral distortions of thelattice for the stripe structures are observed in agreement with recentcalculations. The spatial modulations of electronic density of states areclearly identified as separated from the structural distortions. Thesestructural and spectroscopic characteristics are not consistent with thecharge-density wave and soliton lattice model proposed recently. Instead, weshow that the Ir (Te) dimerization together with the Ir 5d charge ordering canexplain these superstructures, supporting the Ir dimerization mechanism of thephase transition.
