Near field optical microscopy nsom has evolved into a mature member of the family of scanning probe microscopy.
This section contains periodical location information about these books and articles as well as providing a listing of selected original research reports from this cutting edge field.
Near field scanning optical microscopy nsom or scanning near field optical microscopy snom is a microscopy technique for nanostructure investigation that breaks the far field resolution limit by exploiting the properties of evanescent waves in snom the excitation laser light is focused through an aperture with a diameter smaller than the excitation wavelength resulting in an evanescent.
