摘要: In this article we describe evanescent field imaging of material nonuniformities with a record resolution 0.4 μm at 1 GHz (λg/750 000), using resonant stripline scanning microwave probe. A chemically etched tip is used as point-like emitter and probe–sample distance modulation employed to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. Images obtained by probe, optical microscope, tunneling microscope are presented for comparison. Probe was calibrated perform quantitative conductivity measurements. The principal factors affecting ultimate probe also discussed.
