In this letter, we extend the results previously found in near field imaging with aperture [Opt. Express 14, 11566 (2006)], where we demonstrated that interaction between light and sample can be divided into two main areas: the true near field and the contrast near field domain. Here, we show that in near field with a probe, the same division of space exists, and thus we show that a much simpler way to model theses experiments can be given.
