Bruker, in collaboration with the Tyndall National Institute, is pleased to invite you to an upcoming workshop dedicated to the latest advances in atomic force microscopy (AFM) and their application in materials science.

The atomic force microscope has become a true enabling platform for the visualization and probing of materials at the nanoscale. In addition to nanoscale topographical information the mapping of the respective mechanical, electrical and chemical properties has witnessed mayor technological breakthroughs over the past decade.

These include Bruker’s unique Peak Force Tapping for mechanical, DataCube for electrical and AFM-IR for chemical property mapping at highest spatial resolutions, opening entire novel avenues for nanoscale materials research and development.

The goal of this workshop is to share the latest developments on novel techniques for studying micro and nano-mechanical, nano-electrical and nano-chemical properties of material sciences.


Highlights will include:

• Presentations by researchers from the Tyndall National Institute on their recent research
• Practical hands-on sessions on various AFM modes — including Peak Force Tapping, DataCube, and AFM-IR — as well as laboratory tours.
• Bring your own sample and have it tested by the experts. Please register your sample in advance!
• Discuss your research with the Bruker AFM team

This workshop will be valuable for scientists involved in material characterisation, examining nano, micro and macro mechanical testing, R&D, material development and characterisation.
