However, near-field scanning optical microscopy probes, particularly the high-resolution ones, demand cumbersome optics but can only concentrate less than 10of the incident light, which has limited its applications. Here, we report a two-step sequential broadband nanofocusing technique with an external...
In this chapter, we focus on near-field nanoscopy, a technique particularly well suited for the study of biological cell surfaces at the nanometer scale. We first describe the general concept of near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) and specifically focus on how NSOM is being exploited ...
