Summary

The course starts from general discussion of the microscopy spatial resolution problem and different proposals to beat classical criteria in the field. Afterwards, modern scanning probe microscopy methods are discussed.

Content

Keywords

far field and near-field microscopy, scanning probe microscopy, superresolution, force spectroscopy

Learning Prerequisites

Important concepts to start the course

The course is of an introductory character (actually almost each topic here deserves its own course) so no special knowledge are presupposed from students, just a course of general physics at the level of Physics Department.
