Autorenporträt

Harald Fuchs, Jahrgang 1954 und Vater von drei Kindern, lebt in Pforzheim. Er arbeitete viele Jahre selbstständig in der Werbebranche, bis er sich 2004 umorientierte und unter anderem eine Ausbildung als Elektrobiologe absolvierte. 2008 begann er, sein Wissen auf eigenen Vorträgen und Seminaren an die Menschen weiterzugeben. Technologische sowie gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen und Veränderungen stehen dabei stets im Mittelpunkt seiner Betrachtungen.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:
"This book is a compilation of 27 contributions representative of the scanning-probe microscopy techniques ... . The volume is organized in four topical parts. ... can be very useful in a laboratory to introduce students to their first steps in AFM, and to provide more experienced researchers with the state-of- the-art of AFM-based methodology presented by outstanding scientists." (Bruno Samorì and Francesco Valle, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, Vol. 399, 2011)
