You will learn about the theory, practical applications, operational tips and tricks for a number of surface profiling techniques using our stylus and optical profilers. Each course has a specialized focus and most classes include both theoretical and practical trainings. During in-person lab sessions, attendees can practice on Bruker instruments in our demonstration facilities and are invited to use their own samples. Upon request, students may also stay an additional day to have more hands-on time in the lab.
