Education & Entry Level
Hands-on AFM education plays a crucial role in shaping the next generation of scientists, engineers, and researchers. The goal is to provide students with both theoretical knowledge and practical experience in their respective fields. University labs and classrooms must bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world application, preparing students for professional careers in science, technology, and industry.

Educational Value
User-Friendliness
User-friendliness and accessibility are highly important in university educational settings. Instruments that are straightforward to operate and understand are preferred, as they allow students to focus on learning the underlying scientific concepts rather than struggling with complex operation procedures. This approach ensures that students can effectively use these tools to complement their theoretical knowledge with practical skills.
Cost Effectiveness
Cost-effectiveness is also a significant factor in universities. Budget constraints often necessitate a careful balance between functionality and affordability. Instruments that offer the best educational value within budgetary limits are typically chosen to maximize the learning experience while ensuring financial sustainability.
