Abstract :
Two types of passive infrared microscopes with micro/nano scale resolution are developed. One is used for surface studies of solids with near-field techniques. The other is for solution measurements with a solid immersion lens. Modulation techniques to extract net signals from background radiation are introduced in both microscope systems.
