In this letter, we propose a local detection scheme for the Majorana zero mode (MZM) carried by a vison in Kitaevs chiral spin liquid (CSL) using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The STM introduces a single Majorana into the system through hole/charge injection and the Majorana interacts with the MZM to form a stable composite object. We derive the exact analytical expression of single-hole Greens function in the Mott insulating limit of Kitaevs model and show that the differential conductance has split peaks, as a consequence of resonant tunneling through the vison-hole composite. The peak splitting scales with the binding energy of vison-hole composite, which is comparable to the Majorana gap in CSL, well within the reach of experimental observation.
