Exploring the micro- and nano world while still at school
Scanning force microscope for schools developed at PTB will be presented at the Didacta trade fair in Stuttgart
To clearly see - just once - the structures of a modern microchip which are up to 32 nm small and, as such, invisible to the naked eye - a fascinating idea! Vocational and other schools can take their pupils somewhat closer to this goal with the scanning force microscope developed especially for teaching purposes. And the schools can make their students fit for one of the current requirements of the high-tech world, that is exploring the micro- and nano world. The device, developed in the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), made ready for the market by LearningAid, a newly founded company, and now sold and distributed by the teaching aid company Christiani, comes along in a package: with several samples, so you can calibrate it yourself at any time; cleverly devised evaluation software; and not least a seven-hour introductory phase - that is: with know-how to do with measuring and calibration in the nano world which can be used to fill a great deal of lessons. The device called AFMone could be of interest to vocational schools but also to grammar schools in the growing "competition" for pupils. It will be presented from 21 to 27 February at Didacta, the trade fair for education and training, in Stuttgart (Hall 7, Stand B31).
