Abstract

In this Chapter we discuss microscopes able to achieve submicron resolution using thermoelastic effects. Section 1 reviews the physical effects that can be exploited, while Sect. 2 uses a 3D model to illustrate the main features of this kind of microscopy, describing the phenomenon of super-resolution common to all near-field imaging techniques. Section 3 then discusses several hybrid microscopes and Sect. 4 describes the prospects for a technique that is still in its infancy.
