Introduction to s-SNOM

Fritz Keilmann discusses advancements in microscopy, particularly focusing on the development of super-resolution microscopy techniques that exceed traditional limitations.
Key learning objectives from the talk:
- Understanding Super-Resolution Techniques: Learn about the principle behind super-resolution microscopy, specifically how methods like STED microscopy allow for imaging below the diffraction limit of light, providing greater detail in biological studies.
- Applications and Innovations in Microscopy: Understand recent innovations in microscopy, such as color nanoscopy and the use of metallic wave guides, and their applications in enhancing image resolution and simplifying the instrumentation.
- Future Directions and Practical Implementations: Gain insight into new, less expensive, and more accessible methods of super-resolution imaging, and explore the potential future applications in biological research and material science.
