Abstract
If a structure to be examined by a scanning optical microscope has a width less, or height greater than, a wavelength or if the microscope system has a high numerical aperture (NA) then scalar diffraction theory will break down and a more rigorous approach to the diffraction problem is required. With advances in technology producing smaller structures rigorous modelling of the microscope response becomes a necessity.
