Abstract
Scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) is an optical microscopy whose resolution is not bound to the diffraction limit. It provides c hemical information based upon spectral, polarization and/or fluoresce nce contrast images. Details as small as 20 nm can be recognized. Phot ophysical and photochemical effects can be studied with SNOM on a simi lar scale. This article reviews a good deal of the experimental and th eoretical work on SNOM in Switzerland.
