Infinitesima Announces the Appointment of Dr. Andrew D. L. Humphris as Chief Technology Officer
Bristol, United Kingdom (PRWEB) October 14, 2004
Dr. Andrew Humphris, whose research led to the development of InfinitesimaÂs Video-rate Atomic Force Microscope, (VideoAFMÂ), will be joining the company as Chief Technology Officer from October 2004. Dr. Humphris was most recently a Research Fellow of the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 and proleptic lecturer with the University of Bristol.
Andrew Humphris said ÂInfinitesima is committed to innovating and creating new tools for nanotechnologists. The VideoAFMTM uses a completely new approach to atomic force microscopy that circumvents the limitations imposed by traditional approaches. It is very exciting to be part of the team that is delivering this long awaited product to the market. The VideoAFMÂ enables scientists to visualise nano-scale events in real-time, like an optical microscope but with nanometre resolution. This paves the way to a new era for scientists who can now follow and control chemical or biological processes at the single molecule level. Tools of this nature are also essential for many industrial applications such as large-area surface inspection and the realisation of nano-scales devices. It will be very exciting to see how InfinitesimaÂs technology will revolutionise research in biotechnology and nanotechnology.Â

Hey, just looking around some blogs, seems a pretty nice platform you are using. I’m currently using WordPress for a few of my sites but looking to change one of them over to a platform similar to yours as a trial run. Anything in particular you would recommend about it?
