Abstract

The authors present a short review on different microscopy techniques based on laser scanning microscopy. The corresponding wavelengths of the techniques cover the range from between far field (hundred nanometres) and near field (few nanometres). Our investigations started with a hundred nanometers resolution in the case of laser beam induced current technique and go to nanometre resolution in the case of near field investigations. Different techniques which we used are shortly presented.
