Abstract
The concepts of near-field optical microscopy and experimental and the oretical work carried out in Switzerland over the last 10 years are re viewed. After a description of the pioneering experiments of the mid-1 980s, we focus on the recent efforts of the three Swiss laboratories c urrently working in the field in close collaboration. This newly refre shed initiative in near-field optics is supported by the Swiss Priorit y Program Optique.
