Abstract :
Scanning optical micro-cavity microscopy is exploited to achieve infrared imaging in liquid environment. The main characteristics and behavior of the system are summarized. This approach allows to conjugate non-invasivity and sub-diffraction imaging, making it suitable for biological applications.
