This workshop caters to the continuously growing demand of researchers, confronted with new materials and research topics, for complex nano-surface analysis.

The workshop will cover:

• Basic theoretical concept of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and its measuring principle
• Key steps on your way to peak performance
• Applications of AFM such as material sciences, life sciences, polymers, coatings, hard metallic and ceramic systems, semiconductors and soft organic materials

An extended Q&A session will follow the workshop, allowing you to discuss AFM techniques that apply to your research.

Bring your own sample!

The new Tosca 400™ will be set-up for you to try. An exciting new entry into the AFM marketplace, the Tosca 400™ uniquely combines premium technology with a high level of automation and usability.
