IR Optical Nanoscopy Workshop
Solaris Synchrotron, Krakow | March 11, 2026
We welcome researchers and industry professionals interested in optical nano-imaging and nano-spectroscopy across a wide range of material systems to join us for this exceptional event. This event is organized by the Solaris Synchrotron in collaboration with COMEF and attocube systems. The workshop is offered at no cost to attendees; registration is required. Lunch, coffee breaks, and drinks during the poster session will be provided complementary by the organizers.
Event Highlights:
- A one-day workshop featuring nano-IR tutorial and talks from Polish nano-IR community on biomaterials and polymer science applications.
- Practical demonstrations covering measurement workflows and data analysis.
- Poster session and Solaris synchrotron tour.
