Abstract
Microfabricated tips, usually used for atomic force microscopy (AFM), can be modified and used in a scanning nearfield optical microscope. Initial images show a resolution of about 80 nm (λ/8) demonstrating the quality and usefulness of these tips. They are mechanically stable, potentially commercially available, and have high light transmissibility. Furthermore, they can be easily combined with an atomic force microscope to give simultaneous nearfield optical and AFM images.
