AFM workshop: Nanoscale with AFM

17. - 18. 10. 2022  9:00 - 16:00

CEITEC Brno University of Technology, Purkyňova 123, Building S, Meeting room – S2.02  

CEITEC Nano in cooperation with company mt-m organizes an AFM Workshop. Company mt-m has been operating on the market more than 10 years and brings expertise in the field of physical and chemical analyses.

This workshop is intended especially for AFM users (beginners or intermediate level) or for anyone who is interested in this topic.
