Investigations of structures with a nanoscopic size is a task for Scanning Near Field Optical Micoscopy (SNOM) with an optical resolution limited by the size of the illuminating light source and its distance to the sample. Imaging nanostructures by SNOM means probing the photonic structure which has to be regarded as the local density of electromagnetic states of the sample for a given wavelength [1].
This context is discussed for a gold projection pattern as a sample which is probed with the tetrahedral tip (T-Tip) in a combined SNOM/SFM mode [2,3]. The influence of the probing tip and the sample can be distinguished by comparing the experimental SNOM images with numerical calculations of such gold structures [4]. A light emitting dipole being parallel to one of the edges of the T-Tip is used as a model for the nanoscopic light source.
