Abstract
The objective of this proposal is to build a new improved scanning near-field optical microscope (SNOM) and demonstrate the feasibility of using this instrument for in- vitro studies of the structure and organisation of biological systems at resolutions of 30-100nm. We will demonstrate the advantages of this instrument on systems of biological interest and of increasing biological complexity: the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), the axoneme, the vesicular stomatis virus (VSV) and the surface of leucocytes.
