BIO/SOFT MATERIALS RESEARCH
From lipid bi-layers to cancer research, Poseidon AX allows you to observe soft matter and biological materials in their native, hydrated environment.
BIOLOGICAL MATERIALS RESEARCH
Biological and soft materials typically require a hydrated environment to maintain their structure and retain relevant dynamic behavior. With Protochips’ workflow-based in situ TEM solutions, you can utilize the electron microscope to characterize these materials in their native environment to better understand their performance or behavior in real-world applications.
POSEIDON AX
Perform body temperature analyses or induce mixing in a liquid
Study nanoscale dynamics, interactions, and processes of virus, cells, proteins, micelles, and other biological and biomimetic materials while maintaining a physiologically relevant environment.

Radiolysis & Liquid-EM
In this application note, written by Protochips, we summarize how in situ electron microscopy using liquid phase is challenged by radiolysis side effects and how to minimize these effects.
Using Protochips AXON Software for Tracking Electron Flux and Cumulative Dose
In this paper, we take a look at how AXON Dose tracks the electron flux and cumulative dose, and why this might be useful for all experiments.
Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy of Live Yeast Cells in Liquid
In this summarized paper, Dr. Diana B. Peckys was able to image live yeast cells in hydrated form in the electron microscope using the Poseidon system.
Correlative Light and Electron Microscopy (CLEM) of Eukaryotic Cells in Liquid
In this summarized paper, researchers from the group of Dr. Niels de Jonge cultivated COS -7 fibroblast cells directly on Poseidon E-chips.
Understanding the Mechanism of Carbon Nanotube Degradation in Macrophage Cells
In this summarized paper, researchers from the group of Dr. Alloyeau looked at the stability of carbon nanotubes in different liquids to understand the degradation of these materials in macrophage cells.
