WORKSHOP Drive AFM: Innovations and Future Trends in AFM Applications

Quantum Design is pleased to invite you to explore our partner Nanosurf’s new flagship AFM, the DriveAFM.

Tuesday, June 20th 2023 - Milano University

Thursday, June 22nd 2023 - Bologna University

Come to hear about recent advances in AFM technology and learn about the newest state-of-the-art atomic force microscope on the market, complete with photothermal excitation and a fully motorized tip-scanning design that offers new modes for AFM users in all application spaces from life science to material science including biological materials such as cells, DNA, viruses, 2D materials, polymers, photovoltaics, and more. 

The workshop will include scientific talks and a live demonstration: we offer you the opportunity to bring your own sample of interest to be measured and discussed during the afternoon session. Please indicate in your registration if you would like to make use of this offer.
