HI friends,

It would be great if anyone could guide me regarding sample preparation NSOM/SNOM analysis.

Thanks

Deepti

Sample preparation for NSOM/SNOM requires flat, clean, and firmly mounted samples on suitable substrates to enable close probe access within a few nanometers. No special chemical treatment is generally needed; physical stability and surface cleanliness are most critical for high-resolution imaging.
