High Resolution Imaging
The nanoIR3-s Broadband delivers high resolution nano-optical images of a wide range of optical phenomena, including graphene plamonics and surface phonon polaritons in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), and chemical imaging of biological and organic samples.
The example below shows near-field optical images using a spatio-spectral scan. These illustrate a complete surface phonon polariton frequency response on a hBN flake across a 200 cm-1 range. Taken with 3 cm-1 spectral resolution and 10 cm-1 imaging step resolution. 1.5×1.5 µm with 10 nm pixel resolution.
