Imágenes de topografía óptica (a) y AFM (b) de las muestras de fibrillas de colágeno deshidratadas, escaneadas con AutoScript. Tamaño de escaneo: 5 × 5 µm, tamaño de imagen: 256 × 256 px.

El microscopio de fuerza atómico es sin discusión la más versátil y poderosa tecnología de microscopía para estudiar muestras en nanoescala. Es versátil porque un microscopio de fuerza atómica no solo puede producir imágenes en topografía tridimensional, sino que también proporciona varios tipos de medidas de superficie para las necesidades de científicos e ingenieros. Es poderoso porque un AFM puede generar imágenes a resolución atómica, con información de resolución de escala angstrom, con mínima preparación de la muestra.
¿Entonces, como funciona un AFM? En este webinario, lo introducimos a los principios de un AFM con animaciones de video fáciles de entender. Siéntase libre de compartir esta invitación con otros, y de enviarnos un email si tiene alguna pregunta.

3D Printing and Electronics

3D Printing, or additive manufacturing, is becoming key to a number of growth industries.

The Park Systems 2019 Materials Matter Material Science Research and AFM Webinar Series continues with 3D Printing and Electronics. In electronics, multi-materials printing and pick and place manufacturing affords new geometries and controlled electron-transfer and dielectric media. Hierarchical and scaled dimensions, along with high throughput methods, will make a viable approach over PCBs in the future.

This webinar is the fifth in our 2019 Material Science Research and AFM Webinar Series “Materials Matter,” designed to help researchers understand leading edge developments in Materials Science Research and Applications using Atomic Force Microscopy.

Polymers in Medicine

The growing reliance on new polymers and biomaterials in the medical field has proven useful for tissue engineering, drug delivery, prosthesis implants and more.

The Park Systems 2019 Materials Matter Material Science Research and AFM Webinar Series continues with Polymers in Medicine - An Introduction. Polymers are typically hosts and carriers but also can be the active ingredient in any formulation. This installment of the webinar series will review the different polymer classes used in the medical field, and discuss the use of new processing methods, including 3D printing, and their importance to materials development.

This webinar is the sixth in our 2019 Material Science Research and AFM Webinar Series “Materials Matter,” designed to help researchers understand leading edge developments in Materials Science Research and Applications using Atomic Force Microscopy.
