Course Description
This
one-day short course will cover the topic of biomedical surface analysis.
Examples from biomedical research and development studies will be used to
introduce and explain the surface analysis techniques.
Attendees will learn the capabilities of surface analysis methods and how
to intelligently review data received from surface analysis laboratories.
The following topics will be addressed at this short course:
-
Introduction

Applications of Surface Analysis
Who Should Attend?
This
introductory course is intended for technicians, students, engineers, scientists
and supervisors working in biomedical research and development who have limited
experience with surface analysis methods. A background in elementary physics and
chemistry is helpful, but not required.
