ITMO Scientists Develop New “White” Near-Field Optical Microscope
… of a wavelength is localized near the object, in the near field, and cannot be examined from afar. There are several technologies today capable of overcoming this limit - for instance, near-field optical microscopy. In that case, the electromagnetic field of the object is measured in near field by using a special probe that can interact with the localized electromag…
