Near-field scanning optical microscope
In near field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) a very small light source very close to the sample is scanned. Light passes through a sub-wavelength diameter aperture and illuminates a sample that is placed within its near field, at a distance much less than the wavelength of the light.
