The upright-type THz near-field microscope has a compact size, capable of being integrated with an optical microscope. This transmission illumination near-field system could be a promising tool to distinguish breast cancer from the normal tissue without pathologic staining. ? 2009 Optical Society of America.[SDGs]SDG3Optics; Optoelectronic devices; Breast Cancer; Compact size; Near fields; Normal tissue; Scanning near field; Scanning near field microscopy; Terahertz; Light transmissionjournal article10.1364/OL.34.0010842-s2.0-66349089298
