We have pushed the limits of quantitative near-field microwave microscopy to nanometer spatial resolution. In a series of papers we have examined the features of our near-field microscopes that dictate the spatial resolution (papers 89, 91, 112). We have also demonstrated lateral resolution of better than 100 nm for capacitance contrast (papers 103, 117). The microscopes have also demonstrated broad bandwidth, allowing for combined dielectric microscopy and spectroscopy (paper 118).
