As the demand in characterizing small structures on a nanometer level continuously grows, AFM technology is constantly updated with innovative features and increasing performance.
In this workshop, we will cover the wide range of applications for AFM tools used in physical chemistry, material science, molecular and cell biology, and many more.

The workshop includes: 

• Scientific talks on the advances in AFM research field
  Invited Speaker:
  o Dr. Loredana Casalis, Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste
  o Dr. Francesco Valle, CNR-ISMN Bologna
  o Prof. Massimo Bonini, University of Florence
  o Dr. Tobias Cramer, University of Bologna
• Technical presentation on the latest development in AFM technology
  Presented by Dr. Sang-Il Park, CEO Park Systems
• Round table discussion
• Live AFM Demo on NX10 Park AFM
• Conference dinner

The event is open to all interested parties and includes refreshments and a conference dinner (upon registration).

We are very excited to welcome you on 12 October in Bologna and share with you our AFM experience and challenges!
