The chemical mapping capability of PiFM is demonstrated in an asphalt sample containing multiple related…

PiFM captures ultra-confined resonances and local field enhancement in hexagonal boron nitride optical nano-dipole antennae.

PiFM imaged the soap cross-section of a National Gallery sample to expose different chemical components found in a tiny piece of an oil painting. The formation of soap aggregates is of growing concern to art conservation and restoration, especially in traditional 15th to 20th century oil paintings.
