BioAFM Workshop: Seeing and Feeling at the Nanoscale
Advances in BioAFM techniques and technologies enable the investigation of mechanics, structures, and dynamic processes
Free workshop co-hosted by The University of Texas at Austin and Bruker
Discover the Latest Advances in BioAFM Technology
Bruker co-hosted a BioAFM Workshop with the Center for Biomedical Research Support at The University of Texas at Austin on October 13, 2026. During this free event, presentations on the Center's Bruker NanoWizard 4 XP BioAFM covered both the basics of atomic force microscopy for the life sciences, as well as advanced techniques.
This workshop was co-hosted by Dr. Quinn Lee, Light Microscopy Specialist, and Dr. Anna Webb, Director of the Microscopy & Flow Cytometry Facility at The University of Texas at Austin. We also offered hands-on demonstrations with the Bruker NanoWizard 4 XP BioAFM.
We hope you enjoyed the workshop and gained valuable knowledge and practical insights to support your research.
