In this Bio-AFM Frontieer Research Center, we have been working on the development of advanced high-speed AFM, super-resolution AFM, and SICM and their biological application studies. To accelerate the dissemination of the use of these new microscopy techniques, we have been holding this hands-on style of summer school every year since 2012. During the summer school, students and young researchers can experience one of these microscopy techniques through observing their own biological samples. So, all participants should prepare their own samples beforehand and bring the samples with them. You can learn from well-experienced trainers how to operate the instruments and how to adapt samples to their observation. We are very much looking forward to your participation in this summer school..

      When the number of applicants exceeds the fixed numbers (12 for high-speed AFM, 7 for super-resolution in-liquid FM-AFM and 6 for SICM), we select participants through screening on the basis of application proposals. Its result will be informed early July.
