ASNOM (homemade)
Apertureless Scanning Near-Field Optical Microscope (homemade)
The ASNOM system was developed in-house based on the existing Q-Scope 350 SPM
Imaging modes: scattering-Scanning Near-Field Optical Microscopy (s-SNOM), Second Harmonic Generation Scanning Near-Field Optical Microscopy (SHG-SNOM), Fluorescence Apertureless Scanning Near-Field Optical Microscopy (FASNOM)
Key features:
- Optical resolutions of less than 30 nm
- Background free pseudo-heterodyne detection
