摘要: A novel micromachined aperture tip has been developed for near-field scanning optical microscopy. The advantages of the new probe over commonly used fiber probes are illustrated. is fabricated in a reliable batch process which potential implementation micromachining processes microscopy sensors and therefore leads to types multifunctional probes. For evaluation purposes, was attached an by microassembly setup subsequently installed microscope. First measurements topographical patterns demonstrate proper performance hybrid probe.
