Researchers at NanoLSI have pioneered the development of original Biological Scanning Probe Microscopy (Bio-SPM) technologies, such as Atomic resolution/3D-AFM (FM-AFM), high-speed AFM, and SICM (scanning ion conductance microscope), and applied them to the life sciences.
We are pleased to offer you collaborative research programs and a training program that provide access to these cutting-edge technologies.
Our collaborative research programs, such as the Bio-SPM Summer School and Bio-SPM Collaborative Research, enable researchers from diverse fields to use our facilities to image their own biological samples or materials for biological research and realize their potential. Through our Bio-SPM Training Program, participants can receive hands-on, in-person instruction in operating Bio-SPM instruments.
These programs offer a unique opportunity to experience NanoLSI’s state-of-the-art Bio-SPM technologies and to open new horizons for your research. We look forward to receiving applications from many interested participants.
Applications for the 14th Bio-SPM Summer School are now open.
Detailed information on the call for applications can be found on this page.
Applications for FY2026 program are now open.
From FY2025, applications from the industry are also accepted! For information on applications, click here.
