Nanoscale Chemical Imaging of Synthetic and Biological Materials using Apertureless Near-field Scanning Infrared Microscopy

Apertureless near-field scanning infrared microscopy is a technique in which an impinging infrared beam is scattered by a sharp atomic force microscopy (AFM) tip oscillating at the resonant frequency of the cantilever in close proximity to a sample. Several advantages offered by near-field imaging i...
