Photonics Dictionary

near-field scanning optical microscope

A scanning probe microscope that analyzes the surface of a specimen by recording the intensity of light as it is focused through a pipette and raster scanned across the specimen at a distance less than a wavelength. The resolution and high contrast output of the near-field scanning optical microscope allows for the study of various properties of the specimen under observation including refractive index, local stresses, as well as chemical structures.
