11-16 July 2022
The school will offer an introduction to Atomic Force Microscopy in Life Sciences and Medicine for PhD students, post-docs, young scientists and core facility technicians/engineers.
Lectures will be complemented by hands-on tutorials to facilitate communication between experienced and novice AFM users.
AFM beginners are welcome!
