Abstract

A method and apparatus for analyzing a sample are provided. The method can include the steps of: (i) irradiating the sample with a beam of radiation in which at least some of the radiation results in the excitation of surface waves, (ii) exciting surface waves which are confined to an area having a principal dimension comparable to the wavelength of the surface waves, (iii) detecting radiation which includes radiation produced by the surface waves, and (iv) analyzing the detected radiation.
