High performance Atomic Force Microscopes (AFMs) are designed to uncover surface properties ranging from shape and texture to local stiffness and conductivity in various application fields including semiconductors, data storage and polymers, to name a few.
Oxford Instruments Asylum Research will present an overview of their new Jupiter XR AFM. This is an excellent opportunity for students, researchers and team leaders to learn about how AFM could impact their projects or just to get a glimpse of the advances of AFM technology.

This workshop will include lectures, demonstrations and hands-on practice, as well as tips and tricks, and round-table discussion. Participants may bring their own specimens when possible. Please let staff know the type of specimen you will be bringing (e.g. Cultured cells, tissue blocks, specimens/particles for negative stain).

"Fluorescence imaging is a central tool for visualizing complex biological systems, yet the contrast and resolution attainable is currently limited by diffuse light originating from background and scattering at visible and near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths. Recently, the shortwave infrared (SWIR, 1000 – 2000 nm) has emerged as an optimal region for in vivo fluorescence imaging due to its minimal light scattering and low tissue autofluorescence compared to the NIR. While the SWIR demonstrates great promise, suitable materials are needed with emission at these low energies.
