Summary We report on the tip‐enhanced Raman spectra of C60 obtained on a custom‐built apertureless scanning near‐field optical microscope. A commercial atomic force microscope tip coated with 100 nm thickness of gold was used to enhance locally the Raman signal and permit topographic and spectral in...
