## Abstract We describe an apertureless nearβfield scanning Raman microscope in reflection geometry developed by integrating a nearβfield scanning optical microscope and a Raman spectrometer. This setβup offers some unique features that make it applicable to more samples. The fabrication of the met

β¦ Synopsis
Near-field Raman microscopy has its origins in two distinct fields, namely near-field optics and Raman spectroscopy. The coming together of these two branches of science has seen the emergence of a powerful technique for characterizing materials with ultrahigh spatial resolution.

An optical device was constructed to collect near-field Raman spectra (NFRS) and far-field scattering Raman spectra simultaneously on the same sample area. In Raman applications where the studied samples do not enjoy any advantages of resonance effects, the nanoprobe may be used only as a nanodetect
## Abstract This manuscript reviews the principles and recent advances of scanning nearβfield optical microscopy based on tipβinduced field enhancement. These scanning microscopes utilize minute probes to locally enhance an electromagnetic field through a complex interplay between surface plasmon e
