How does Near-Field Scanning Optical Microscopy (NSOM) enhance imaging?

Near-Field Scanning Optical Microscopy (NSOM), also known as Scanning Near-Field Optical Microscopy (SNOM), breaks the diffraction limit of light by using a nanoscale light source positioned very close to the sample surface. NSOM can achieve resolution beyond the conventional optical microscopy limits, making it ideal for studying optical properties of nanomaterials, including surface plasmons and photonic crystals.
