Abstract
A new method of scanning in near-field optical microscopy, which makes it possible to operate in contact with the experimental sample, is proposed and implemented. This method permits the practical utilization of the idea of using the dipole-dipole resonance transfer of excitation energy from the active element of the microscope to the sample for achieving a fundamental improvement in the resolution of near-field optical microscopy.Keywords
