In this Bio-AFM Frontieer Research Center, we have been working on the development of advanced high-speed AFM and super-resolution AFM and their biological application studies. To accelerate the dissemination of the use of these new microscopy techniques, we have been holding this hands-on style of summer school every year since 2012. During the summer school, students and young researchers can experience one of these AFM techniques through observing their own biological samples. So, all participants should prepare their own samples beforehand and bring the samples with them. You can learn from well-experienced trainers how to operate the AFM instruments and how to adapt samples to their AFM observation. We are very much looking forward to your participation in this summer school..

      When the number of applicants exceeds the fixed numbers (15 for high-speed AFM, 3 for super-resolution in-liquid FM-AFM and 2 for SICM), we select participants through screening on the basis of application proposals. Its result will be informed early July.

Report

The first Bio-AFM Summer School finished with excitement. Thank you all participants (12 trainers and 14 trainees) for their dedication and  enthusiasm. We had only 2-3 days for observing samples brought by the trainees. Nevertheless, various achievements were made, including new discoveries, and all the trainees could operate the instruments by themselves. Of course, more experiments need to be done to polish up the obtained results. Probably, many of you would like to do more observations of your samples. The Center will prepare a new program so that you can continue to perform experiments.
