New and experienced users will learn practical strategies to aid their research and process control applications using an AFM.

Santa Clara, CA -- January 21, 2003 -- Pacific Nanotechnology, Inc. (PNI), the global leader in high-performance, easy-to-use, and affordable atomic force microscopes (AFMs), is offering seminars on "AFM applications for your research and development programs." The seminars are designed for both new and experienced users to provide them with tools and techniques necessary for research using an AFM. The seminars will take place throughout the year at various locations across the country. Please see the Pacific Nanotechnology web site at www.pacificnanotech.com or call PNI at 1-800-246-3704 for the seminar schedule.

The aim of the seminars is to provide nanotechnologists and nanoresearchers with practical strategies to aid their research and process control applications, particularly when visualization, modification, and measurement of nanometer-sized surface structure are critical. Each seminar will feature a noted speaker, an applications specialist, and a product sales engineer. Paul West, Ph.D., vice president of products and chief technology officer for PNI, will lead the programs. He will outline critical applications for AFM in the increasingly expanding world of nanotechnology research and developments.

"This AFM seminar program helps us educate researchers about the applications of AFM," said West. "We want to demonstrate how AFMs have become critical enablers as well as practical research tools for groundbreaking nanotechnology developments and for routine use," he noted. "We'll explain AFM capabilities, provide examples of how research is being accomplished, why it is done, and what the researcher can learn from it."

PNI is the global leader in high-performance, easy-to-use, affordable AFMs for nano-scale research and manufacturing. The company is facilitating the growth and expansion of nanotechnology and the manufacture of nano-scale products by providing practical AFM tools for new or experienced and single- or multi-user environments.
