Abstract
We measured the optical response of fluorescent beads to sharp metallic and semiconducting probes, revealing several underlying near-field interactions. Our results suggest that ~10 nanometer optical resolution with spectroscopic chemical sensitivity is possible, and bear strongly on molecular-scale biological imaging.
