[Andrea Slade]

Veeco Training Course: Atomic Force Microscopy for Life Science Research
March 9th- 13th, 2009
Held at Veeco Instruments, Santa Barbara, CA

This Veeco Training Course will familiarize students with a range of biological applications in AFM including sample preparation, instrument setup and operating parameters required for successful imaging in fluid environments. The course is offered on a first-come, first-serve basis and enrollment will be limited to 9 students. Students will be divided into small groups and will work together to conduct experiments on the latest state-of-the-art Veeco Bio-AFM instruments. The one-week course will consist of three days of oral presentations and hands-on system training by Veeco Application Scientists. A full day pre-course 'AFM Bootcamp' is optional and will be available to those needing an introduction to the 'Basics of AFM' or wanting to brush up on their AFM skills. At the end of the course students will also have the opportunity to bring and image their own samples using the skills they have learned during their week of training.

General Topics Covered In The Course:

 *   Sample Preparation
 *   Basic AFM operation in fluid
 *   Static/Dynamic imaging of biomolecules and biomolecular complexes in fluid
 *   Intra-/Inter-molecular Force Measurements
 *   Live Cell Imaging
 *   Integrated AFM and Optical Microscopy

Who Should Attend: Faculty and Industry Life Science Researchers, Post-Doctoral and Graduate Students who wish to improve their AFM skill-set in life science applications or who are interested in learning how AFM can advance their life science research.

Course Fee:  $2500.00   Special Student Fee $1750.00 (must have valid student ID)
