Introduction to Atomic Force Microscopy

AFM Fundamentals Training Course

Work alongside Asylum Research applications scientists in a hands-on introductory Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) course. This two-day class is aimed at those who are new to AFM or who would like to sharpen their fundamental AFM skills. Through a combination of lectures and hands-on experiments students will learn how to perform basic measurements using the latest Asylum Research AFMs.

Course material will include topographic imaging using contact and tapping modes, probe selection, and basic image modification and analysis. Additionally the course will survey nanomechanical and nanoelectrical measurements. Attendees may choose to add an additional day to their stay, during which they will work with Asylum applications scientists to image samples brought from their own labs or receive advanced training. Students will receive a certificate of completion at the end of the course. 

Who Should attend?

Academic researchers and industrial users who are either new to AFM or looking to strengthen fundamental AFM skills.
