WELCOME TO NC-AFM 2025

The 26th International Conference on Non-contact Atomic Force Microscopy is part of the series of international conferences devoted to the latest progress in dynamical atomic force microscopy. The conference covers the experimental, theoretical and instrumental developments in frequency modulation and other dynamic operation modes with particular emphasis on aspects of high-resolution imaging and force spectroscopy.

NC-AFM 2025 is the 26th of a series of conferences devoted to non-contact atomic force microscopy. Previous conferences were held in Montreal, Canada (2024), Singapore (2023), Nijmegen, Netherlands (2022), Regensburg, Germany (2019), Porvoo, Finland (2018), Suzhou, China (2017),Nottingham, UK (2016), Cassis, France (2015), Tsukuba, Japan (2014), Maryland, USA (2013), Ceský Krumlov, Czech Republic (2012), Lindau, Germany (2011), Kanazawa, Japan (2010), New Haven, USA (2009), Madrid, Spain (2008), Antalya, Turkey (2007), Kobe, Japan (2006), Bad Essen, Germany (2005), Seattle, USA (2004), Dingle, Ireland (2003), Montreal, Canada (2002), Kyoto, Japan (2001), Hamburg, Germany (2000), Pontresina, Switzerland (1999), Osaka, Japan (1998).
