Hosted by Asylum Research and Irida Company, this free AFM workshop is ideal for researchers that are looking for a solid introduction to the technology and current applications that utilize this powerful technique to understand nanoscale dynamics.  Industry and local academic experts will lecture on these topics:

•  Fundamentals of AFM
•  Nanomechanical characterization
•  Nanoelectrical characterization
•  Latest technological advances and instrumentation for quantitative measurements and easy operation with Asylum AFMs:
  - Video-rate AFM with the Cypher VRS
  - The new revolutionary new large-sample AFM, Jupiter XR

Invited Speakers
