PSC is proud to be a Platinum Sponsor of the Advanced Materials Characterization (AMC) 2026 Workshop at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign!

This two-day intensive workshop, hosted by the Materials Research Laboratory at UIUC, is one of the best hands-on overviews of modern analytical techniques available, covering everything from AFM and electron microscopy to XPS, cryo-EM, and beyond.

We’re excited to share that our own Thomas Tague will be presenting on Tuesday, June 2 at 1 PM:

“Submicron, Label-Free Chemical Imaging of Biological Specimens by Optical Infrared (O-PTIR) Microscopy”

Whether you’re a novice researcher or an experienced scientist, AMC 2026 offers practical, application-focused sessions designed to sharpen your characterization skills and problem-solving strategies.

Lunch will be provided.
