Advanced Course on AFM - biological measurements and soft materials


Objectives Directed to Methodology Date Place


 Course Objectives

Obtain qualitative and quantitative nanomechanical parameters from all kinds of samples by AFM-related modes, both in air and in liquid operation. Attendants are highly encouraged to bring their samples so applications engineers can solve their specific problems.

Technical talks by applications engineers and renowned researchers will focus the topic and hands-on demos with cutting-edge AFMs will be devoted to show the assistants the possibilities of the technique.
The reduced number of assistants (15 per session) ensures maximum interaction between experts and students.

 Adressed to

The course offers specific training courses in Atomic Force Microscopy for PhD students, post-docs or scientists working on Life Sciences and Materials Science. Indicated to new users in AFM or users that need advanced theoretical and practical training in one specific operation mode.

 Methodology

Technical and scientific talks: 4 hours
Practical hands-on demos: 4 hours

 Date

21nd November
