Nanoscience Instruments invites you to their event
About this event
Welcome back to Theta Thursdays, our Masterclass series for current and potential future users of Attension Theta Optical Tensiometers. Each session, we will take a deep dive into a different Contact Angle measurement method and provide demonstrations of the necessary tools to accomplish these advanced wettability characterization techniques.
This session will focus on the practical aspects of correcting for the presence of roughness on a sample's surface. We will briefly discuss why it is critical to account for irregular topography on a sample and demonstrate how the Attension Topography module's optical profiler enhances the accuracy of sessile drop contact angle measurements on various types of materials.
About the Theta Thursdays Masterclass Series:
Coming this summer 2024, Nanoscience Instruments will be hosting a series of Theta Optical Tensiometry demonstration masterclasses. This series will focus on giving pragmatic, hands-on applications of optical tensiometry techniques beyond basic contact angle measurements. While these measurements still have their importance, the Theta Optical tensiometers have many advanced capabilities that may be underutilized. To bridge this gap, each session will focus on a different technique, like tilting or roughness corrected contact angle measurements. This will include helpful tips for the set up and execution of each technique, while avoiding common mistakes for a more successful measurement. We hope this series will inspire current and potential Theta tensiometry users to expand their measurement arsenal and gain the knowledge necessary to apply these techniques confidently.
