The Birck Nanotechnology Center (BNC) at Purdue University, in conjunction with Asylum Research, will be hosting an Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) Workshop on 17 February 2011.
The BNC hosts workshops for its constituents by aligning top tool developers and scientists to educate and train AFM users on art equipment located within its 187,000ft2 research facility.
The workshop will include lectures and equipment/imaging demonstrations for life-science applications and electrical characterisation of materials.
Topics include AFM for biological applications, force measurements and mapping, combined AFM and optical imaging, cell imaging and electrical characterisation using conductive AFM.
In addition, Purdue researchers Dr Robert Moon, assistant professor of materials engineering, and Ryan Wagner, graduate student, will present a talk on force-displacement measurements.
The AFM Workshop will be held in Room 2001 at the BNC and is open to current AFM researchers looking to learn more about AFM techniques from Asylum and Purdue experts, as well as to those new to AFM that want to learn how it can be used in their own research.
