Triton AX Live

a workshop provided by ER-C and Protochips

featuring Protochips’ Next Generation Liquid Cell for TEM

 January 20th – 21st, 2027 

Protochips and ER-C are pleased to invite you to the first public demonstration of the Triton AX system. This two-day workshop will provide an exclusive opportunity to experience Protochips’ newest in situ TEM system for advanced liquid heating, cooling, and electrochemistry.

Triton AX is the world’s first liquid cell for TEM, providing temperatures of -50 °C up to 300 °C simultaneous with electrochemical capabilities. With its capabilities already demonstrated in peer-reviewed research, Triton AX is quickly becoming invaluable for understanding extreme-temperature electrochemistry and battery-related applications. Hosted at the Ernst Ruska-Centre (ER-C) in Jülich, an early adopter of the Triton AX system, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to experience the system.

The program will include two live demonstrations, innovation updates by Protochips and talks by invited scientific speakers, who will share their research, experiences, and perspectives on liquid cell in situ TEM. Throughout the workshop, ample time will be dedicated to discussion, questions, networking, and exchanging ideas with fellow researchers, Protochips specialists, and the ER-C community.

This Protochips workshop is designed to be an engaging event with a focus on showcasing the capabilities of Triton AX, exploring advanced in situ TEM workflows, and creating opportunities for direct interaction between attendees, ER-C researchers, and the Protochips team. Participation is free of charge, but registration is required.

 

WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE

  • A first public demonstration of the Protochips Triton AX system
  • Live in situ TEM workflows demonstrating liquid, heating, cooling, FAIR compliant software and electrochemical capabilities
  • Insights from invited speakers sharing perspectives and experiences studying different applications with liquid phase TEM
  • Opportunities to discuss applications, workflows, and future possibilities directly with Protochips experts and the ER-C community

WHAT WE PROVIDE

  • Coffee and tea breaks during both workshop days
  • Lunch provided on both days
  • Guided facility tours on both days
  • Shuttle transportation between the designated hotel and FZJ Jülich during the workshop
  • Support with hotel arrangements through pre-arranged options (hotel costs are covered by attendees)

Please note: Participation in the workshop is free of charge. Attendees are responsible for their own travel expenses, as well as accommodation costs.

Registration is required, and places are limited to ensure meaningful interaction during demonstrations and discussions.
