Abstract

An original instrument intended to integrate the advantages of scanning probe, near and far field optical microscopy is presented. The device named Apertureless Head was specially designed to be incorporated to Ntegra scanning probe laboratory, the powerful analytical instrumentation in the nanotechnology field produced by NT-MDT Company, Russia. The device is supposed to be a powerful tool for high resolution analysis in different fields of investigations such as material sciences (optical and optoelectronic, magnetic, semi- and superconducting materials), polymers and biological sciences (structural biology, molecular and cell biology, microbiology, etc.). Probe tip plane light distributions are calculated and different light propagation schemes are discussed.
