AFMs are essential instruments for nanoscale measurements and helps nanotechnology researchers in all disciplines of engineering and science. There is a considerable and increasing demand among students and professionals for AFM training and education. There are three levels of AFM training.
Introduce Nano world to students
Instructors who fall under this category wants to introduce learners to an AFM by showing them what it looks like and how it works. Here students learn how to enlarge the view of the surface with the help of the scanning tip. Usually few samples are visually represented during this training so that students can see nanometer sized features of a surface. Students are exposed to the AFM for a couple of hours in this group.
Provide training to students that want to operate an AFM
In this group, the motive of instructors is to train students on how to operate the AFM efficiently for measure different types of images. During this training, students learn the basic functions of the AFM, how the instrument scans, and the function of feedback control. Here students come to know how to operate AFM for both industrial and research laboratiries. The training can be as short as one week and can lasts a whole semester.
Prepare students for better career
The motive of instructors here is to prepare students to do well in their careers in the future in instrument design, customer service or applications development. In this group there are additional categories of researchers who aspire to repair and modify their own instruments. Here students build AFMs on their own and also learn to measure images on standard reference samples. It is a 40 hour intensive course that fulfills the requirments of this third group.
