Abstract
A plasmonic nanostructure includes a dielectric substrate, a periodic array of dielectric pillars on the dielectric substrate; and, on each dielectric pillar of the periodic array, a respective conductive layer. Each dielectric pillar of the periodic array of dielectric pillars is between the respective conductive layer and the dielectric substrate. A method for imaging a cell includes reflecting an optical beam off the plasmonic nanostructure. The plasmonic nanostructure has biological cells adhered thereto. The method also includes collecting the reflected optical beam with an optical detector.
