		<title>AFM-IR Webinar: &#8216;nanoscale IR Spectroscopy &#8211; where AFM meets IR&#8217; on Wed, May 23 at 11AM EST</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The ability to identify material under an AFM tip has been identified as one of the &#8220;Holy Grails&#8221; of probe microscopy. IR spectroscopy can characterize and identify materials via vibrational resonances of chemical bonds and is a very widely used analytical technique. We have successfully integrated AFM with IR spectroscopy (AFM-IR) to obtain high quality [...]]]></description>
