SANTA CLARA, CALIF. JULY 13, 2018
Park Systems, world leader in Atomic Force Microscopes (AFM) announces the opening of the Park Nanoscience Lab at the prestigious Indian Institute of Science (IISC) Bangalore India, which has been upgraded to the status of Institute of Eminence.
The Nanoscience Lab will be equipped with Park NX20 AFM at the Centre for Nano Science and Engineering (CeNSE) and will hold workshops and symposiums on the latest advancements in nanometrology and offer researchers a chance to experience the latest in AFM technology.
The official inauguration ceremony of the Park Nanoscience Lab in India will be held on Wednesday July 25, 2018 at 10 AM featuring a talk by Dr. San Joon Cho of Park Systems Corporation,who will make an official presentation, declaring the Park NanoScience Lab, a national facility where researchers will have access to Park Systems cutting-edge Atomic Force Microscopes with high resolution nanoscale imaging. The event will also include an AFM live demonstration and is open to the press and public. To register to attend go to: http://www.parksystems.com/iisc
“We are honored to have the Park Nanoscience Lab here at Indian Institute of Science,” The Director, CeNSE- Indian Institute of Science further added, “The partnership with Park Systems and their Atomic Force Microscope technology strengthens our academic and scientific community by bringing an exciting new research tool to a shared access location, supporting the growing demand for nanotechnology here in India.”
The Park Nanoscience Lab will showcase advanced atomic force microscopy systems, demonstrate a wide variety of applications ranging from materials, to chemical and biological to semiconductor and devices, and provide hands on experience, training and service, year-round.
“Increasingly, AFM is being selected for Nanotechnology research over other metrology techniques due to its non-destructive measurement and sub-nanometer accuracy,” states Dr. Sang-il Park, Park Systems Chairman and CEO. “The new Park Nanoscience Lab at Indian Institute is a tremendous step forward for researchers in India who work in the advancing fields of nano science and technology.”
Park Systems advanced AFM platform includes SmartScan, an innovative and pioneering AFM intelligence that produces high quality imaging with very few clicks. Park SmartScan’s unique design opens up the power of AFM to everyone and drastically boosts the productivity of all users.
Since going public and listing on KOSDAQ in 2016, Park Systems' stock has quadrupled as they continue to lead the world in growing AFM market share. Park Systems, a global AFM manufacturer, has Nanoscience Centers in key cities world-wide including Santa Clara, CA, Albany NY, Tokyo, Japan, Singapore, Heidelberg, Germany, Suwon and Seoul.
