Abstract

We have demonstrated a new type of near-field microscope that uses an add-on lens, called a solid immersion lens, to a real-time Nipkow disk type of confocal scanning optical microscope. Using this microscope, a factor of two improvement in the edge response over a confocal microscope has been observed along with excellent images of a grating with 100 nm strips and spaces. This microscope operates in reflection and gives real-time images.
