AFM Workshop and Open Lab at 
Case Western Reserve 

March 20-21, 2018

Learn How Atomic Force Microscopy Enables New Research Opportunities

This informative free workshop, sponsored by Swagelok Center for Surface Analysis of Materials and Oxford Instruments Asylum Research, will allow researchers to experience first hand the Cypher VRS, the first and only full-featured video rate AFM. You’ll learn about the latest AFM technology and see recent results taken using video-rate AFM, including the real-time self-assembly of collagen into fibrils, the enzymatic cleaving of DNA, the migration of surfactant micelles on graphite, and polymer imaging of Celgard. You’ll get to see real-time, video-rate imaging with the Cypher VRS in the demonstration session.
