Invitation to AFM Workshop organized by SITEM / Agilent Technologies, Trieste, June 11 th

[Maria Teresa Turello]

We are glad to invite you at SITEM srl and Agilent Technologies workshop on  Scanning Probe Microscopies (SPMs) .  


The workshop will take place on  Wednesday, 11 June 2008 , at the AREA Science Park (Basovizza Campus)  Congress Hall, Building T1  and will focus on SPMs and their applications in bio-nanotechnology, with a special attention to Agilent Technologies new product in this market. This is also an opportunity of technical chats as well as practical AFM demos with Agilent application scientists. 

If you would like to attend this event,  free of charge , please register at the following e-mail:  afm at sitemnet.it
