Near‐field optics using force sensing cantilevered optical fibers and micropipettes is used to investigate the chemical distribution of protein complexing dyes in chromosomes and the sensing and chemical imaging of surfaces and nearsurface regions. These results are put in the context of what presently can be considered as a broad picture of near‐field optical chemical applications.
