Asylum Research, in conjunction with University College Dublin (UCD) and the Nanoscale Function Group, will host the AFM Forum and Workshop, 20-21 November at UCD, Ireland.
The forum will combine talks from leading researchers on both materials and life science applications in AFM as well as instructional sessions using Asylum Research's MFP-3D AFM.
'This conference will bring together many of the top AFM scientists in the region carrying out leading research in materials and life sciences,' said Professor Suzi Jarvis, principal investigator of the Nanoscale Function Group at UCD.
'The instrument education sessions will also give scientists an opportunity to learn about important new techniques that they can use in their research.' 'This will be a chance for researchers to "ask an expert" on a variety of AFM topics while viewing the actual techniques during instrument operation,' said Dr Jason Cleveland, chief executive officer of Asylum Research.
The AFM Forum is currently accepting abstracts for the materials/life science lecture sessions and the poster session.
In addition, registrants may submit their AFM images for the image contest.
The two-day event will take place at the Conway Institute of Biomolecular and Biomedical Research, University College Dublin.
