TL;DR: Comparison between the NSOM fluorescence and topography measurements suggests that A2E is not the major component in lipofuscin, and illustrates the unique capabilities of NSOM for probing into the microstructure of lip ofuscin and uncovering new insights into its phototoxicity.

Spatial modeling for refining and predicting surface potential mapping with enhanced resolution
TL;DR: A novel statistical approach with bivariate spatial modeling to efficiently refine and predict surface property mapping and can effectively retrieve the artifact-free surface potential distribution by automatically identifying topological artifacts from surface potential maps.
Direct measurement of the absolute value of the interaction force between the fiber probe and the sample in a scanning near-field optical microscope
TL;DR: In this article, the absolute values of the force exerted by the fiber probe of a scanning near-field optical microscope onto the surface were measured using an atomic force microscope in ambient conditions.

Theory of Diffraction by Small Holes
TL;DR: In this paper, the diffraction of electromagnetic radiation by a hole small compared with the wave-length is treated theoretically, and a complete solution is found satisfying Maxwell's equations and the boundary conditions everywhere.

Near-Field Optics: Microscopy, Spectroscopy, and Surface Modification Beyond the Diffraction Limit
Eric Betzig,Jay K. Trautman +1 more
TL;DR: The near-field optical interaction between a sharp probe and a sample of interest can be exploited to image, spectroscopically probe, or modify surfaces at a resolution inaccessible by traditional far-field techniques, resulting in a technique of considerable versatility.

Breaking the Diffraction Barrier: Optical Microscopy on a Nanometric Scale
TL;DR: A near-field probe has been developed that yields a resolution of ∼12 nm (∼λ/43) and signals ∼104- to 106-fold larger than those reported previously and image contrast is demonstrated to be highly polarization dependent.

Theory of Nanometric Optical Tweezers
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method for optical trapping and alignment of dielectric particles in aqueous environments at the nanometer scale based on the highly enhanced electric field close to a laser-illuminated metal tip and the strong mechanical forces and torque associated with these fields.
XXXVIII. A suggested method for extending microscopic resolution into the ultra-microscopic region
TL;DR: In this article, a method for extending microscopic resolution into the ultra-microscopic region was proposed, based on a method proposed by the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Philosophical Magazine and Journal of Science.
