Popis: Excitons play a key role for the optoelectronic properties of hybrid systems. We apply near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) with a $100\,\text{-nm}$ spatial resolution to study the photoluminescence of surface excitons (SX) in a $20\,\text{nm}$ thick ZnO film capped with a monolayer of stearic acid molecules. Emission from SX, donor-bound (DX), and - at sample temperatures $T>20\,\text{K}$ - free (FX) excitons is separated in steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence spectra. The $4\,\text{meV}$ broad smooth envelope of SX emission at $T
