Abstract
The primary goal of this project is to create a unique multidisciplinary SPM undergraduate laboratory course using affordable, state-of-the-art instrumentation. Our experience is that the incredible potential of this relatively simple technique, coupled with its high visual impact, immediately captures and maintains student interest.
