AFM Workshop x Alfatest
In collaboration with Oxford Instruments, Alfatest offers a workshop dedicated to high-performance atomic force microscopy in Milan, Italy from 10 to 11 July 2024. AFM technology offers unique features to meet the growing demand for characterisation of structures and chemical-physical properties at the nanometric and sub-nanometric scale, in an increasingly wide range of application fields.
The event will be an opportunity to hear Italian AFM users together with application specialists from Alfatest and Oxford Instruments, and to attend a demonstration of the Cypher VRS, the model offering the highest resolution among fast-scanning AFMs.
