Both the Aduro and Poseidon platforms will be showcased daily. The schedule for these demonstrations is as follows.

Aduro:
Monday, August 5th 3:00pm
Tuesday, August 6th 3:00pm
Wednesday August 7th 3:00pm

Poseidon 200:
Monday, August 5th 12:15pm
Tuesday, August 6th 10:15am
Wednesday August 7th 10:15am

Poseidon 500 Ex Situ:
Monday, August 5th 1:30pm
Tuesday, August 6th 11:30am & 4:30pm
Wednesday August 7th 11:30am & 4:30pm

Aduro SEM Demo (JEOL Booth):
Wednesday August 7th Noon

In addition to show floor demonstrations, Protochips has also scheduled an impressive list of invited speakers to lead tutorials detailing their use of the Protochips product and the results of that research. Tutorials will be held on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights at 5:45pm in Booth #504. Make sure to sign up at the MSA Megabooth as space is limited.

Monday, August 5th 5:45pm
Poseidon 500 - Electrochemistry Studies in an in situ TEM Environment with Dr. David Muller

Quantifiable Data from in situ microscopy is critical for research and development in the fields of engineering and biological nanomaterials. Use of in situ liquid systems with electrochemistry capabilities in electron microscopy increases the value of your microscope and provides quantifiable resolution, analysis and results. Dr. David Muller, co-director, Kavli Institute at Cornell for Nanoscale Science will be presenting the cutting edge quantitative electrochemistry work he and his team have been conducting while researching fuel cell and battery technologies. With the Poseidon™ 500 system Dr. Muller has been performing characterization studies including the production of cyclic voltammograms while imaging in TEM and STEM.

Tuesday, August 6th 5:45pm
Aduro 300 - Heating & Electrical Studies in an in situ TEM or SEM Environment with Dr. Nasim Alem and Dr. Masaki Morita

Use of in situ heating and electrical systems in electron microscopy provides quantifiable resolution, analysis, and results. With applications in electronic materials, catalysts, ceramics and coatings, Aduro turns your microscope into a working laboratory. Dr. Masaki Morita of JEOL will be presenting the result of several factory applications studies on the SEM system and Dr. Nasim Alem of the Penn State Department of Materials Science and Engineering will be presenting on research studies between her and her collaborators using the Aduro system in the TEM.

Wednesday August 7th 5:45pm
Poseidon 200 - Hydrated Studies in an in situ TEM Environment with Dr. Niels de Jonge

Acquiring quantitative data from specimens in liquid using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning TEM (STEM) is now possible with the breakthrough Poseidon technology. The use of the liquid flow specimen holder for STEM/TEM and a microfluidic chamber with silicon nitride windows allows for the observation of specimens in liquid, including dynamic processes. Dr. de Jonge is recognized as one of the pioneering leaders in the field of electron microscopy of liquid specimens. He will present groundbreaking work in both biology and nanoscale materials science including discussions on studying whole eukaryotic cells directly in liquid, correlative fluorescence and electron microscopy, and dynamic studies using STEM and TEM.

Located in Raleigh, N.C., Protochips has provided revolutionary products and technologies for the in situ electron microscopy market for more than nine years. Its innovative E-chip™ consumable technology fundamentally changes the way in situ microscopy is performed. The E-chip platform provides temperature and electrical in situ capabilities for Aduro™ and liquid and electrical in situ capabilities for Poseidon. Protochips has produced more than 500,000 consumables for electron microscopy.
