The demand for smaller devices with better performance has driven the development of carbon nanotube-based chips, which open up exciting possibilities for the semiconductor industry.
Laser Scanning Confocal Microscopy (LSM or LSCM) and Scanning Near-Field Optical Microscopy (SNOM) are the two optical microscopy techniques used to break the diffraction limit of resolution. Both techniques are looked at here, as well as the benefits and ongoing history of optical microscopy.
