A modern day light microscope has evolved from a tool devoted to making primarily empirical observations to what is now a sophisticated , quantitative device that is an integral part of both physical and life science research. Nowadays, microscopes are fou ...
We investigated experimentally and numerically in the optical near-field a plasmonic model system similar to a dolmen-type structure for phenomena such as plasmon-induced transparency. Through engineering of coupling strength, structure orientation, and in ...
We discuss the effects of image scanning microscopy using doughnut beam illumination on the properties of signal strength and integrated intensity. Doughnut beam illumination can give better optical sectioning and background rejection than Airy disk illumi ...
Scanning Near-field Optical Microscopy (SNOM) technique enables to overcome Abbe diffraction limit of far-field optics as well as to obtain simultaneously optical and topographical images. While the optical resolution of the method is limited by the apertu ...
Fluorescence super-resolution microscopy has allowed unprecedented insight into the workings of biological systems below the diffraction limit of light. Over the past decade, it has overcome several challenges to deliver 3D, multi-color and faster imaging ...
The electromagnetic field transmitted by a subwavelength circular aperture in a perfectly conducting screen of infinitesimal thickness and illuminated by an obliquely incident plane wave is analyzed based on the Bethe-Bouwkamp quasi-static model of the fie ...

The adoption of process analytical technologies by the biopharmaceutical industry can reduce the cost of therapeutic drugs and facilitate investigation of new bioprocesses. Control of critical process parameters to retain critical product quality attribute ...
Some preliminary results and experimental details of Near-field Scanning Optical Microscopy (NSOM) operation in liquids have been reported by us earlier(1-4). Here we present the first use of custom made polystyrene/poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) optica ...
The 2D-molecular thin film analysis protocol for fully grown mice oocytes is described using an innovative approach. Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and optical mi ...
We experimentally demonstrate critical coupling of whispering gallery mode (WGM) disk resonators implemented on a Bloch surface wave platform using scanning near-field optical microscopy. The studied structure is a 60 nm thick TiO 2 TiO2 WGM disk cavity (r ...
