AFM-IR Webinar, 21st October: Nanoscale IR Spectroscopy for Materials and Life Science


AFM-IR webinar about nanoscale IR spectroscopy for materials and life science, presented by Anasys Instruments on Tuesday 21st October at 8am PST (4pm GMT). Learn about revolutionary AFM-IR surface analysis technique and why it is being adopted as the new method of choice for nanoscale chemical identification and composition mapping. With sub-50nm spatial resolution, AFM-IR is an entirely new way of exploring materials across a diverse range of applications.

AFM-IR Chemical Identification Applications

  • Polymers: Blends, composites, multi-layer films
  • Life Science: Amyloid fibrils, bone, cells, bacteria, viruses
  • Materials for energy: i.e. organic photovoltaics, biofuels, fuel cells
  • Self-assembled monolayers and other thin films
  • Materials physics: i.e. semiconductors (joint work with Intel), plasmonics

AFM-IR Webinar

During the webinar presented by Anasys Instruments, a panel of experts will review key aspects of AFM-IR, with real life examples from the applications above.

Registration for the webinar has now closed.
