Title: Extending the Limits of SPM: High Speed Scanning, Ultra High Resolution Imaging, Multiple Probe SPM
Focus: Methods to measure static and dynamic Nanoscale mechanical and tribological properties, including nanoindenting, scratching and NanoDMA. The session will concentrate on molecular models and the understanding of fundamental properties in relation to the above measurement modes.
Chair: Franz Giessibl, University of Regensburg, Germany
Invited Speaker: Flemming Besenbacher, University of Aarhus, Denmark
SESSION 2
Title: From Single Biomolecules To Cells: Using AFM and Combined AFM-Optical Techniques to Probe Biological Structures and Forces
Focus: Techniques to image cells, proteins, lipids, and tissue samples in physiologically relevant environments including high resolution imaging of static samples and visualization of dynamic events to measure inter- and intra-molecular forces.
