title: Detection of nonradiative fields in light of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and the Rayleigh criterion.
abstract: The new concept of superresolution microscopy involving nonradiative field detection by optical tunneling is analyzed in light of the Heisenberg principle and the Rayleigh criterion. A connection is demonstrated between the evanescent field components and the system's resolving power. This work is quite general and can be applied to scanning electronic tunneling microscopy.
