<H2>Workshop Overview</H2>
<P CLASS="MsoNormal">Birck Nanotechnology Center is excited to hold a workshop in conjunction with three research-oriented companies – NT-MDT, Quantum Design,  and Gatan – which supply crucial equipment at the Birck facility. The aim of the workshop is to review the measurement techniques for both newcomers and existing users, see the instruments in action, and discuss cutting edge developments in both instrumentation and research.</P>

<P CLASS="MsoNormal">Over the last 28 years, NT-MDT has been involved in the development, production and support of research instrumentation, primarily, atomic force microscopes (AFM) and its combinations with ultrahigh resolution spectroscopy for nanotechnology and its applications. Our pathway has been marked by the creation of a large number of devices, whose functions and capabilities cover the broad range of customer needs in different areas: university education, academic and industrial research. NT-MDT pioneering efforts led to the impressive combination of scanning probe microscopy with Raman spectroscopy.</P>

<P CLASS="MsoNormal"><SPAN>Since its inception in 1982, Quantum Design International (a privately held corporation) has developed and manufactured automated temperature and magnetic field testing platforms for materials characterization. These systems offer a variety of measurement capabilities and are in widespread use in the fields of physics, chemistry, biotechnology, materials science and nanotechnology. Building on its expertise in the global marketing and distribution of its own scientific instruments, Quantum Design International (QDI) eventually broadened its scope to distribute quality scientific instruments from other manufacturers through an international network of wholly owned subsidiaries in every major technological center around the world.</SPAN></P>

<P CLASS="MsoNormal">There is always more to see. And when you’re working with electron microscopy, the closer you can get to your sample, the more of its secrets it will reveal. That’s why at Gatan we have spent the last 50 years working with our customers to push the boundaries of what can be done with electron microscopy. Together, we have invented new approaches to problems that deliver fresh understanding. With state of the art cameras, imaging energy filters, specimen preparation equipment and other EM products and solutions, we take the most powerful microscopy on earth and make it work even harder for you. Gatan. Let’s get closer. </P>
