The probe-sample interaction in scattering type Near-field Scanning Optical Microscopy (s-NSOM) is investigated theoretically and experimentally. To understand this interaction, a commonly used analytical model is detailed as well as a more rigorous method based on a dyadic Green functions. In the simplest cases, both approaches give similar radiation patterns of the coupled probe-sample and the signal dependence to the probe and sample permittivities is then discussed. The case of tipenhanced resonances is notably highlighted. Experimentally, two s-NSOM setups were considered, one in the mid-IR spectral range and one in the near IR. In the former case, we have imaged several sub- gratings for different probe sizes. Interestingly, contrast ...
