An essential goal of education in nanotechnology is an understanding of
scale and metrology, of instrumentation and fundamental physics. Easy
to use and affordable instrumentation is indispensable in reaching this goal.
Nanosurf offers both STM and AFM that have been developed with three
criteria in mind: ease of use, affordability, and portability.
These characteristics allow both easy classroom demonstrations
and more sophisticated exploration of nanometer-sized structures
in student labs.
Users include universities on all continents and development
continues in close relation with renowned universities such as
in particular the H.-J. Güntherodt group of the University of
Basel. Nanosurf also stays in touch with the needs of
nanotechnology education by regularly organizing a Teaching
Nanotechnology Seminar.
In this presentation we will show practical examples of
use of the Nanosurf easyScan 2 modular SPM system as an
ideal supplement for teaching and training in Nanotechnology.
