Abstract
We demonstrate a near-field tomography method for investigating the coupling between a nanoscopic probe and a fluorescent sample. By correlating the arrival of single fluorescence photons with the lateral and vertical position of an oscillating tip, a complete three-dimensional analysis of the near-field coupling Is achieved. The technique is used to reveal a number of interesting three-dimensional near-field features and to improve image contrast In tip-enhanced fluorescence microscopy.
