<p>An optical waveguide probe 1 provided with a microscopic aperture portion of a diameter less than a wavelength at its tip, a vibration application portion consisting of a piezoelectric vibrating body 2 and an AC voltage-generating portion 3, a vibration-detecting means consisting of a quartz oscillator 4 and a current/voltage amplifier circuit 5, a coarse displacement means 6 for bringing the optical waveguide probe close to a surface of a sample, an optical detection means consisting of lenses 7, 8 and a photodetector 9, a sample-to-probe distance control means consisting of a Z motion fine adjustment device 11 and a Z servo circuit 12, a two-dimensional scanning means consisting of an XY fine motion device 13 and an XY scanning circuit 14, and a data processing means 15 for converting a measurement signal into a three-dimensional image. The optical waveguide probe 1 is preferably held to the quartz oscillator 4 by spring pressure of a resilient body 16. <IMAGE></p> |
