Abstract
The operating principle of the optical near–field microscope is suggested; it is based on narrow photoinduced dimensional resonances in the system “atom on the tip of a needle -- atom of the sample.” It is shown that this microscope has high sensitivity and spatial resolution of the order of 1 nm.
