Abstract :
We have been actively developing surface plasmon (SP) microscopy as a technique which has great potential for measuring localized changes in refractive index. We have used various interference techniques1 to demonstrate the potential of the method as have other researchers2. The so called V(z) response gives an indication properties of the SPs generated on the sample.
