Microscopy and Microspectroscopy of Nanomaterials in Liquids
This one-day workshop will focus on one of the most challenging areas of microscopy - the quantitative examination of the dynamics of nanomaterials in liquids.
Internationally known academic and industrial experts in the field of optical and electron microscopy and spectroscopy of liquids and opto-fluidics will join this exciting workshop to discuss the most critical technological insights, discoveries and new practical applications. The workshop will cover the fundamental techniques such as optical microscopy, TEM, SEM, AFM, Raman and FTIR for a wide range of possible applications, from microbiology and chemistry to materials and optical engineering. The workshop will also include hands-on demonstrations and will offer the opportunity to test participants’ samples on-site.
Registration is now closed.

Prof Roland Kröger
Engineering & Physical Sciences Section Chair
University of York
Roland is a Reader at the Department of Physics in York with a strong focus on Nano- and Biomaterials using electron microscopy and other materials characterisation tools. Roland obtained his PhD at the Fraunhofer Institute for Surface Science and Technology in Braunschweig/Germany and has since built a large expertise in Materials Physics and Materials Science covering diamond thin films, metal/semiconductor nanostructures, nitride based light-emitting devices, metal nanoparticles for biomedical applications and biominerals. In the past years he has increasingly become interested in novel in situ techniques studying processes in liquid environments using aberration corrected electron microscopy.
"There is a lot of scope in bringing together 'traditional' Materials Science and the Life Sciences which is a key aspiration for me as Secretary of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Committee" -
