72nd AVS International Symposium and Exhibition

November 8–13, 2026 | Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

 

The American Vacuum Society (AVS) is hosting its 72nd International Symposium and Exhibition, and we’ll be there. Visit us in booth 309 for remote demos of our XPS instruments and an opportunity to discuss your materials analysis challenges with our team.

 

Best of all, you’ll have the opportunity to discover the Thermo Scientific™ Hypulse™ Surface Analysis System, combining femtosecond laser ablation with the Thermo Scientific™ MAGCIS Ion Source for advanced depth profiling. Join us to see how the Hypulse System can help transform materials analysis and unlock new possibilities for your research.

 

If you’re planning to attend, be sure to catch our surface analysis presentations and book an appointment with our team to discuss how the latest instruments and techniques can support your work.

 

Join us to:

  • Explore the Hypulse System and see how it can support advanced surface analysis workflows
  • See how your peers are using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to understand a wide range of materials applications
  • Learn more about our correlative imaging and surface analysis workflow, which combines XPS with scanning electron microscopy
  • Discover how XPS can help you analyze your most challenging samples, including semiconductor devices, ultra-thin films, barrier layers, plastics, coatings, fibers, battery components, metals, ceramics, and more
