Implementation of a bimorph-based aperture tapping-SNOM with an incubator to study the evolution of cultured living cells

We present the implementation of a tapping-mode aperture scanning near-field optical microscope (Tapping-SNOM) to a Binder CB incubator (Istituto di Struttura della Materia, Rome, Italy). The microscope operates in the intermittent contact mode using a nonbent optical fibre allowing to reduce the pe...
