High Resolution NSOM Imaging of Au Grid

 
   
 A) AFM image of an Au grid glass surface obtained with an AFM/NSOM probe.                                     B) NSOM image obtained in transmission mode fully correlated with A.

 

   
   

Upper Graph: Shows the height line profile of image A. Notice the high resolution of the AFM image despite its being obtained with an NSOM probe.

Bottom Graph: Shows the NSOM line profile of image B. The cursors show a high lateral resolution of 50nm.
