Our AFM Webinar Series - Your Free Learning Resource

The Bruker Atomic Force Microscopy Webinar Series is the web's most consistently informative online learning resource for the global AFM community. Each presentation offers a unique opportunity for you to interact with one or more of our AFM experts. The broadcast subjects are designed to cover current metrology topics, provide solutions to tough microscopy problems, and offer development ideas for new applications, AFM modes, or techniques.

Registering To Attend

After having chosen one of the webinar topics detailed below, you will be sent to the external GoToWebinar website (www2.gotomeeting.com) to complete a simple registration form. The process is fast and secure, but you will want to be sure to check the date and time of each event for your local time. We list all webinar dates and times as PST (Pacific Standard Time, USA & Canada).

Advancing AFM for Cell Biology: The Role of Forces in Cell Structure and Behavior

Please join May’s webinar, hosted by CELL.

Cell biology has seen a surge in mechanobiology-related research directed towards understanding how cells exert and respond to forces. Examining the effects of forces on cells has a wide-range of applications from understanding disease pathology to the development of tissue engineering devices.

In this webinar, Dr. Andrea Slade, Bruker Nano Inc., will discuss the latest advances in Bruker’s AFM technology for cell biology research, including the integration of AFM with optical microscopy, nanomechanical property mapping imaging modes, as well as high-speed AFM imaging of cell dynamics. Dr. Sanjay Kumar, UC Berkeley, will present his latest research on dissecting and genetically engineering microscale tensional homeostasis in living cells. Living cells encounter a variety of biophysical signals encoded by their microenvironment, and these inputs can strongly regulate many fundamental cell and tissue behaviors. Dr. Kumar will focus on strategies that he has recently developed to dissect and genetically manipulate this "tensional homeostasis" in living cells, which rely heavily on atomic force microscopy (AFM) and other single-cell technologies.

Atomic Imaging with Peak Force Tapping

Peak Force Tapping is best known for its ability to provide high resolution, quantitative material property maps (using PeakForce QNM), or for its simple operation (with ScanAsyst). Previously, the high resolution capability has been demonstrated to the molecular level and beyond; this webinar will review the latest atomic resolution results and how Peak Force Tapping enables new science at this level. In these experiments multiple systems were used to collect the data including our large-sample Dimension FastScan and Icon systems in addition to the MultiMode.
