On Thursday, the 6th of October, global thought leaders will convene in Basel. Hear from representatives of the three main industries using AFM - materials science, the life sciences, and industrial applications - about their successes, challenges, and their vision for the next decades.
On the second day we invite you to a Nanosurf Open House Day at our Liestal Headquarters. Take this unique opportunity to interact with the Nanosurf team,to get a behind-the-scenes look of our production, software development and application lab.
This event is centered in a strong scientific focus while also offering the chance to see Nanosurf's instruments in action, and to discuss options to collaborate with us. Join us, and let's determine the future of AFM.
