Abstract

Here we put forward the idea of getting superresolution in confocal setup with apodization film. By this configuration we can suppress the background noise aroused by apodization film, and further avoid problem owing to non-axial points when modified lens is used solely. Also we introduce a new model based on the confocal setup to explain superior resolution mechanism in near field optical microscope. Theoretical development and skeptical comments are given in this paper.
