UK & I FIB ToF-SIMS Network Workshop    

Join the UK & I FIB ToF-SIMS Network for a one-day, in-person workshop at Cranfield University on 27 April 2026, co-organised by Cranfield University and Tescan in UK. The day combines short presentations covering technology, theory, and practical applications of FIB-based ToF-SIMS, followed by an afternoon of hands-on sessions using a live FIB ToF-SIMS system. You’ll also get guided support on data processing software and practical help solving real data challenges.
