Compared to other techniques, infrared near-field microscopy in the spectroscopic mode has the advantage to be sensitive to specific chemical bonds. In fact, spectroscopic SNOM in the infrared spectral range (IR-SNOM) reveals the chemical content of the sample with a lateral resolution around 100 nm (Cricenti et al., 1998a, 1998b, 2003).lipid bilayersmembranesscanning near-field optical microscopyCationic Liposome ComplexesAtomic-Force MicroscopyFree-Electron-LaserGene DeliveryDna ComplexesPlasmid DnaIsothermal TitrationLipidsTransfectionReflectivitytext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
