near-field scanning optical microscopy [¦nir ¦fēld ‚skan·iŋ ‚äp·tə·kəl mī′kräs·kə·pē]

(optics)

A technique for making optical measurements at dimensions much smaller than the wavelength of light, by scanning a nanometric detector or radiation source in proximity to a sample surface. Also known as scanning near-field optical microscopy.

Cell Imaging Techniques: Methods and Protocols by SciTech Book News SPM encompasses three main techniques: atomic force microscopy (AFM) (see IBO 12/31/94), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) (see IBO 5/15/05). Microscopy techniques focus on nanotech by Instrument Business Outlook However, near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM), with its ability to generate optical micrographs with sub-diffraction limit resolution offers a means to accomplish such measurements.
