CONCLUSION Scanning near-field fluorescent probes have really interesting imaging capabilities ! • Nano-optics : evanescent fields (localized, surface plasmons polaritons) • Nano-thermics : heating in stripes, failure analysis, … UNIVERSAL DETECTOR ! Future : - Reduce the size of the fluorescent particle : to get a better resolution - Many studies : plasmonics and thermics Acknowledgments : Philippe Lalanne (Institute of Optics, Orsay, and US Dax supporter)
