Abstract
The design and theory of operation of a variety of new techniques in NSOM are discussed. The basic framework of all these modalities is the force-regulated NSOM. A number of results are presented to demonstrate the power of this simultaneous microscope. Amongst the new techniques introduced are linearized polarizing microscopy, as well as amplitude, and phase, interference contrast imaging modalities. In each case results are presented to demonstrate the potential of the techniques. Finally, a new approach to Kerr/Faraday polarization imaging is introduced, which is based on the behavior of orthogonal states of light. This has direct application in magneto-optic imaging.
