Abstract: We present results showing the potential of diamond nanoparticles with size less than 50 nm as photoluminescent nanoprobes for serving as stable point-like emitters attached at the tip apex of a near-field optical microscope to achieve enhanced spatial resolution.<br />Comment: Keynote talk by F.
