摘要

Near-field scanning optical microscopy allows researchers to simultaneously observe optical properties and the topography of their sample with the precision of tens of nanometres.Recently,researchers have theorized that an apertureless near-field microscope could be used to capture and manipulate particles as small as a few nanometers in diameter.Near-field optics is therefore the converging point of several apparently unrelated research domains.
