MAF Characterization Workshop
The Molecular Analysis Facility (MAF) is a state-of-the-art characterization facility that provides high end characterization tools to all users in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
The MAF Characterization Workshop, Aug. 4-5, includes lectures in the morning and instrument demonstrations in the afternoon. Due to the capacity of our lab space, the registration number is limited. The Molecular Analysis Facility (MAF) at the University of Washington is near the Architecture Building (across the street from the MAF) at 4000 15th Ave NE.
The demonstrations on MAF instruments will provide application examples for much of the material covered in the workshop lectures. The workshop is taught by experienced MAF staff, faculty, and vendors. Attendees will learn the capabilities of various surface analysis methods, compositional analysis, and electron microscopy imaging as well as how to intelligently review the data from these characterization tools. Demos this year will include Raman, AFM, XRD, TEM, and SEM. The wor…
