The Bridge’s Inaugural Atomic Force Microscopy Training Course

For booking enquiries and registrations, SEND US AN EMAIL

The Bridge is delighted to announce the dates for 2022’s Atomic Force Microscopy training course. Join us for a 2 day, face-to-face exploration of all things AFM including sessions focusing on the significant benefits of AFM compared to other forms of microscopy, as well as outlining the many industrially-relevant applications of AFM in manufacturing.

The course, held onsite at The Bridge’s facilities at the University of Lincoln but also live streamed around the world, will include demonstration of an AFM in operation and will cover different processing techniques to get the best out of the data.

The course is a perfect introduction to some of the key technologies that we will make available through The Bridge and can form an integral part of CPD for your engineering/technology workforce.

For SMEs based in the Greater Lincolnshire area we are able to provide some spaces for free on a first come first served basis, so get in touch to secure your places now by e-mailing us. We will shortly be opening online registration through a portal on the University of Lincoln’s website, but in the meantime if you’d like to reserve a paid place then please
