Abstract
A new surface plasmon resonance microscope is described that can opera te at different resonance angles. The lateral resolution in the surfac e plasmon resonance microscope depends on the orientation of the edge of the object relative to the plasmon direction. By rotating the objec t it is possible to reach a resolution of the order of the wavelength. The equipment is described, and it is shown that a resolution of 1.5 mum is obtained for a silver-air interface with 675 nm. Some pictures of biological cells are presented.
