Next come contributions discussing confocal scanning laser microscopy, quantitative computer-assisted image analysis, laser scanning cytometry, laser capture microdissection, microarray image scanning, near-field
scanning optical microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and reflection contrast microscopy.
SPM encompasses three main techniques: atomic force microscopy (AFM) (see IBO 12/31/94), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and near-field
scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) (see IBO 5/15/05).
However, near-field
scanning optical microscopy (NSOM), with its ability to generate optical micrographs with sub-diffraction limit resolution offers a means to accomplish such measurements.

of Pittsburgh) present examples of the applications of the technology in 17 papers discussing near-field
scanning optical microscopy, mechanical studies of polymers by atomic force microscopy, single- molecule studies, and polymer surface characterization by scanned probes.
