Optical contrast mechanisms and shear force interactions in near-field scanning optical microscopy.

This dissertation investigates mechanisms that influence image formation in near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) performed with tapered fiber aperture probes. Both the generation of optical contrast for transmission mode NSOM and the force interaction between the probe and sample that is th...
