## 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
Apertureless scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) in the reflection-back-to-the-fiber configuration is possible on rough surfaces of practical importance and reaches 15 nm lateral resolution. The feedback for constant distance mode is provided by shear-force atomic force microscopy. Any art
The validity of reflection-back-to-the-fiber SNOM (scanning near-field optical microscopy) has been unduely questioned by an erratic approach curve that disputed the enhancement of near-field reflectance. It is shown now that only truncated (broken) tips without metal coating do not experience the e
