Fig. 1: Principle of SR-SICM.

A Principle of SICM and imaging output of a point structure. B Line-profile plots at different set-points for SICM and SR-SICM showing the substantial improvement of the fundamental imaging capabilities. C Sensing zone in the vicinity of a point structure along with the (D) SICM and E SR-SICM imaging output (point-structure geometry is highlighted by the gray stippled lines, while the FWHM of the imaging profile is visualized by red and blue stippled lines for SICM and SR-SICM, respectively). F Plots of FHWMSICM/ds and FHWMSR-SICM/ds at different imaging set-points along with the quantification of the SR-SICM imaging enhancement.
