abstract = {Optical phase contrast has for the first time been observed on a nanometer
scale, with a near-field microscope of scattering type that maps
the complete optical field of amplitude and phase. Backed by quasielectrostatic
theory, we demonstrate the significance and experimental accessibility
of even complex optical constants on a subwavelength scale. Further,
our method can separate the near-field response from background artifacts
and thus is expected to enable nanoscale optical mapping of even
topography-rich objects such as resonant clusters and macromolecules.},
