We report high spatial resolution mapping of high‐Q whispering gallery modes in microsphere resonators with a near‐field probe. We present experimental results on the effect of Q‐factor degradation when the probe interacts with the evanescent field and discuss future applications of our experimental set‐up for realization of novel nanolasers and nano light‐emitting‐diodes.
