-Basic AFM operation (as demonstrated on the MFP-3D AFM)
-Biological sample preparation and interpretation of AFM data
-Choosing cantilevers
-Imaging samples in air and fluids: from molecules to cells
-Force measurements: intra molecular forces and hardness measurements
-Simultaneous AFM and optical microscopy techniques including fluorescence and phase contrast
-Recognizing artifacts

The class will be tailored to the skill level of the participants. You may download a PDF of the information packet that includes additional information and the registration form.
