AB  - We review recent experimental studies on single-walled carbon nanotubes on 
      substrates using tip-enhanced near-field optical microscopy (TENOM). 
      High-resolution optical and topographic imaging with sub 15 nm spatial resolution 
      is shown to provide novel insights into the spectroscopic properties of these 
      nanoscale materials. In the case of semiconducting nanotubes, the simultaneous 
      observation of Raman scattering and photoluminescence (PL) is possible, enabling 
      a direct correlation between vibrational and electronic properties on the 
      nanoscale. So far, applications of TENOM have focused on the spectroscopy of 
      localized phonon modes, local band energy renormalizations induced by charge 
      carrier doping, the environmental sensitivity of nanotube PL, and inter-nanotube 
      energy transfer. At the end of this review we discuss the remaining limitations 
      and challenges in this field.
