In this work, we explore the information content in tip-enhanced Raman (TER) spectral images of gold nanoplates coated with two distinct molecular reporters: 4-thiobenzonitrile (TBN) and 4-nitrothiophenol (NTP). Using our dual analyte approach, we rigorously demonstrate pixel-limited spatial resolution in Raman nano-images that are otherwise dominated by local optical fields that vary more gently in space. Reproducibility is ensured through power dependent TERS mapping. Power-dependent imaging also (i) directly illustrates that TBN is more robust than NTP at higher laser powers, and (ii) reveals an increase in population of the Stark-tuned nitrile resonances of TBN molecules with increasing incident laser power.
