Abstract

Recently optical microscopic surface imaging resolution has been extended beyond the diffraction limit with near-field and evanescent-field devices. We developed an analytical photon scanning tunneling microscope (APSTM) that adds spectroscopic capabilities to one such microscope. With the APSTM we measure near-surfacestress - as well as surface topography - in ruby.
