WELCOME!

   Byelorussian community of scanning probe microscopy invites you to take part in International scientific seminar 'METHODOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF SCANNING PROBE MICROSCOPY' (BySPM).

   Our seminar is held biannually since 1996. SPM specialists from Belarus, Russia, Ukraine and other countries take part in the seminar. First six seminars have been held under name 'Byelorussian seminar on scanning probe microscopy'.

   Objective of the seminar is discussion of achievements in development of scanning probe microscopy methods and their application for solving research and applied problems.

   Working languages of the seminar are Russian and English.
