What is the AFM ?
The Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) is a high-resolution local probe microscope that can be used to visualise the topography of a sample’s surface, as well as its tribology and mechanical, electrical or chemical behaviour.
In addition, this method enables the surface of the sample to be analysed point by point by scanning a probe consisting of a nanometric tip. This microscope makes it possible to study objects on a very small scale.
Who should attend our AFM training courses?
Do you need AFM (atomic force microscopy) training for your teams?
As an accredited training organisation, FILAB can help your teams learn new analysis and characterisation methods, whatever your sector of activity.
FILAB provides AFM (atomic force microscopy) training for your teams
At FILAB, we develop and offer our customers tailor-made training courses to meet your industrial issues or analytical challenges, or as part of a catalogue.
Our services include AFM training:
… and can be adapted to any profile (beginner or expert). They can be given on site or remotely. AFM training courses generally have a theoretical component, but above all they involve application.
Why choose FILAB for AFM training?
There are several reasons for the growing number of requests to FILAB for AFM training :
Highly qualified people: our trainers are people from the laboratory, doctors or specialized engineers
A human-sized structure, which allows us to be more responsive and flexible
A unique profile with a double competence in Chemistry and Materials
Tailor-made technical training: most of the training courses offered by many training organizations are standard, not tailor-made, and do not address your technical issues
Industrial knowledge: FILAB has been providing training to its clients for over 10 years in all industrial sectors
To register for the course or to obtain a quote, please contact us directly by email or telephone.
Training will start within 3 months of acceptance of the agreement.
