Apertureless NSOM Probes

Apertureless Probes for NSOM and RamanEnhancement

  • Nanonics produces metal coated NSOM optical fiber probes for use in apertureless NSOM techniques.
  • Nanopipettes can also produce Nanopipettes with embedded nanoparticles.
  • Gold or silver nanoparticle probes are especially useful for research into enhanced Raman imaging and apertureless NSOM.
