Abstract

Systems and methods for addressable field enhancement microscopy are provided. In an embodiment, a nanoscale array of islands may be illuminated with an electromagnetic signal and addressed to differentiate signals from different islands of the nanoscale array. The differentiated signals originating from illuminating the nanoscale array may be applied to microscopy of a specimen.
