6. Conclusion
All of the local probe microscopes presented in this article have contributed to the development of the concept of near-field microscopy. High-resolution imaging of various properties of a sample's surface has opened up new perspectives in materials science, biology, fundamental physics, spintronics, electrochemistry, and plasmonics.
Near-field microscopes go beyond imaging to investigate local properties, whether optical, chemical, mechanical, electrical, etc. These remarkable techniques are the tools of choice for nanotechnology.
The authors would like to extend their warmest thanks to the wonderful near-field community and the members of RéMiSoL who participated in the discussions and provided images, many of which are unpublished: Hubert Klein, Loranne Vernisse, Laurence Masson,...
