Abstract
A reflection anisotropy microscope (RAM) creates the contrast in its images from a change in the polarization orientation of reflected light from a surface. This may stem from local variations of the reconstruction of a surface, being initiated by changes in an adsorption layer. The advantages and disadvantages of a recently improved RAM versus other optical imaging techniques are discussed. We demonstrate the unique features of RAM and present the first experimental findings of so called 2pi phase kinks in the globally coupled CO-oxidation on Pt(110).
