This new straightforward technique takes advantage of the currently achieved miniaturization of LEDs in fully addressable arrays. These nano-LEDs are used to scan the sample with a resolution comparable to the LED sizes, giving rise to chip-sized scanning optical microscopes without mechanical parts or optical accessories. The operation principle and the potential of this new kind of microscope are analyzed through three different implementations of decreasing LED dimensions from 20 µm down to 200 nm.application/pdfengcc-by (c) Canals Gil, Joan et al., 2021https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/MicroscòpiaMicroscopisMicroscopyMicroscopesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article7121152021-11-17info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess34066638
