Abstract

We present the design and describe the operation of a scanning probe microscope which simultaneously provides the attractive mode force and near-field optical images of objects. In this technique, the force signal is used to track the topography, thus allowing the optical signal primarily to show variations in transmissivity. A number of results are presented on the application of the technique to imaging different samples.
