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.

The optical microscope often referred to as the light optical microscope is a type of microscope that uses visible light and a system of lenses to magnify images of small samples optical microscopes are the oldest design of microscope and were.

Advantages of optical microscopy.
Scanning near field optical microscopy snom is a technique capable of optically investigating the surface of a sample to form either a high resolution two dimensional image or to perform a local spectroscopy.

Microscopy spectroscopy andsurface modification beyondthe diffraction limit eric betzig andjayk.
A fundamental principle in diffraction limited optical microscopy requires that the spatial resolution of an image is limited by the wavelength of the incident light and by the numerical apertures of the condenser and objective lens systems.
Meanwhile near field optics technology is immature in the duv spectral region.
Optical spectroscopy provides a wealth of information on structural and dynamical.
In contrast nsom offers higher resolution around 50 nm or even 30 nm depending on tip.
