Asylum Research has announced that its AFM in Biology class for atomic force microscopy users is to be held on 13-15 April 2011 in Santa Barbara, California.
The class combines lecture with hands-on sessions for personal instruction and interaction with Asylum technical staff.
'We cover all the essential AFM topics that biologists need and want to learn about, from sample preparation to advanced imaging and force measurements,' said Sophia Hohlbauch, applications scientist at Asylum Research.
The three-day course is held twice a year, with topics including: sample preparation; force measurements; and imaging on DNA, proteins, force measurements and mapping, lipids and imaging live cells.
Hands-on labs will be done on the MFP-3D Stand Alone, MFP-3D-Bio and the Cypher AFM.
