  • Abstract
    Summary form only given. We have developed a microscope based on the photothermal deflection of a transmitted beam The pump and probe beams are collinear and focused through the same optics, in order to increase lateral spatial resolution without reducing sensitivity. Performances of this microscope are studied in terms of lateral spatial resolution and sensitivity.
