Abstract:
A near-field scanning probe includes: a measurement probe that relatively scans a test sample; an excitation light irradiation system; a near-field light generation system that generates near-field light in a region including the measurement probe in response to irradiation with excitation light from the excitation light irradiation system; and a scattered light detection system that detects Rayleigh scattering and Ramen scattered light of the near-field light from the sample, generated between the measurement probe and the sample, and the near-field scanning probe is characterized in that the near-field light generation system includes a cantilever with a chip coated with a noble metal, and a tip of the chip is provided with a thin wire group including a plurality of carbon nanowires with a noble metal provided at ends thereof.

Claim (Index 13):
The sample observation method according to  claim 12 ,\n wherein the procedure of generating the near-field light implements, with the scanning probe microscope, an irradiation procedure of irradiating the tip of the chip with the excitation light, and an electric field concentration procedure of generating local electric field concentration on the noble metal provided on the carbon nanowires in accordance with the irradiation procedure.
