This one-day workshop offers hands-on beginner and expert-level training in both practical techniques and data analysis for AFM and SPM. It is available as an optional add-on for delegates attending the AFM & SPM 2026 meeting, with a small additional fee of £40 to cover catering and consumables.

The workshop will include parallel sessions on:

  • Data analysis sessions: Python-based SPM analysis, an introduction to machine-learning approaches and training on a range of image analysis packages and workflows. 
  • Practical sessions: AFM imaging, high-speed AFM imaging, Scanning Ion conductance microscopy and multi-modal SPM training.
  • Theory, tips and tricks: Short lectures and interactive discussions focused on how to get the most from your experiments.
  • Sessions will run in parallel, allowing participants to select from a range of topics and tailor the day to their own interests and level of expertise, while maintaining small group sizes for effective hands-on learning. You will be sent a questionnaire to complete once you have made your booking.

This workshop is open to all attendees of the AFM & SPM 2026 meeting and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis as an optional add-on during ticket booking. Spaces are limited.

Available from Monday 8 December 2025 12:00(GMT).
