Duration: 9:00h-17.00h

Main subject of the courses: Quantitative functional SPM nanoscale imaging (C5) and Mechanical and Electrical properties of biological samples (C7)

Concepts to covered: (C5): Functional vs topographic imaging modes. Nanomechanical mapping (elastic and viscoelastic properties). Nanoelectrical mapping (conductive and dielectric properties). Quantitative functional SPM.
(C7): Mechanical and electrical physical magnitudes. Macroscopic and microscopic techniques (rheometry, deformability cytometry, electrophoresis, patch clamp, optical tweezers, SPM).

Theoretical session: open to the whole scientific community
