Asylum Research: Manufacturer of the new Cypher AFM system and the MFP-3D AFM.
Olympus: Supplier of High-Quality SPM tips for contact and vibrating tip modes. Olympus also manufactures the new Biolever mini for AC mode in liquids.
Asylum Research, Nancy-Université/CNRS, and Atomic Force F&E, announce the AFM Workshop “Biological Interfaces: From the Model Membrane to Microbial Cells” to be held at the Nancy-Université, France, Oct. 23-24, 2008. World-renowned AFM scientists will be speaking about their current work and trends in biological applications using AFM. The workshop will consist of invited and submitted talks, a poster session, and instrument education sessions. The workshop is open to all AFM researchers in the field.
“This conference will bring together many of the top AFM scientists that are doing research in life sciences,” said Dr. Fabien Gaboriaud, CNRS researcher at the Laboratory of Physical Chemistry and Microbiology for the Environment (LCPME). “The instrument education sessions conducted by Asylum Research and Atomic Force F&E will also give scientists a tremendous opportunity to learn about important new techniques that they can use in their research.”
“LCPME is doing cutting-edge research in the field of probing the physico-chemical determinants of microbial interactions in biofilms and we are pleased to be teaming with them for the workshop. The meeting will also be useful for biological scientists looking to use AFM for a new research tool,” said Dr. Irène Revenko, applications scientist at Asylum Research.
The event is co-sponsored by Nancy-Université and the CNRS, Atomic Force F&E, and Asylum Research. Instrument sessions will be conducted on the Asylum Research MFP-3D™AFM. Registration is limited. Conference details and registration can be found on the official conference site.
Asylum's powerful video overlay software now allows direct correlation of AFM and optical images. Push-button video calibration and precise alignment capabilities make it easy to combine AFM data and video images in one graph. The optical information, which could represent brightfield, phase contrast, fluorescence or any other of the various optical contrast mechanisms, can be inserted into the AFM image as a separate data channel.
Asylum's OpenGL 3D rendering software Argyle (TM) combines topographical and optical information in one image by colorizing the 3D surface with the optical data channel. In addition, the optical image can be used for navigation of the AFM scan by a simple point-and-click mouse operation.
