Triton AX
Triton AX is the world’s first system to enable temperature-dependent analysis of electrochemical reactions at extreme temperatures, ranging from -50°C to 300°C. The temperature is completely user-definable to provide precise control over experimental conditions and drive innovation forward for batteries, electrocatalysts, corrosion-resistance, chemistry, and more.
Key Features
- -50°C to 300°C
- Thermoelectric (no LN₂ )
- Precise flow and bubble management
- Unmatched chemical compatibility
- No interference from crosstalk
- Live physical drift mitigation, dose analysis, and offline data analysis
Manufacturer
Protochips
Protochips are committed to advancing the capabilities of researchers worldwide by providing front-to-back workflow solutions for transmission electron microscopy.
The first heating & cooling electrochemical cell for TEM
Flexible in situ environments: A wide range of extreme temperatures enables ultimate flexibility in studying temperature-dependent phenomena.
Machine vision software suite: Integrated machine vision software manages many data collection tasks in the background so you can focus on the experiment at hand.
Front-to-back workflow: Each step of the research process, from sample preparation to data management and analysis, has been considered to maximise rigor and reproducibility.
Safety: Safety of the TEM is top priority – none of our systems require disassembly that would put the TEM at risk to enable different imaging techniques or perform maintenance.

Sample Supports: E-chips
The Triton AX solution uses custom-made microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) as sample supports to adjust liquid thickness, add temperature, or enable electrochemical measurements within the liquid holder. All MEMS devices (E-chips™) are designed, fabricated, and quality checked.
With several unique designs such as:
- Microwells to limit liquid thickness
- Flow management designs for ultimate flow control
- Temperature control E-chips with patented FrameHeaterTM technology maximising uniformity
- EDS-optimised designs that enable EDS collection without tilting
Axon Machine Vision Software Platform
TEM Processing Software
There are many variables to control and record during an in situ TEM experiment and the AXON machine vision software platform provides automation without taking away control:
- Live physical drift correction
- Constant parameter recording and indexing (TEM, camera, and in situ parameters)
- Real-time electron dose calculations
- Electron dose exposure tracking and mapping
- Continuous recording for instant look-back.
You leave the TEM lab with a fully drift corrected and metadata-aligned dataset with all parameters recorded, notes integrated, and ready for trend analysis and movie creation.
- Learn faster
- Share easier
- Publish sooner
- Increase reproducibility
- Spend less time and money at the TEM
- RDM/FAIR compliant
Applications
Copper Dendrite Formation At 5°C
STEM micrograph and cyclic voltammetry curve of Pt working electrode with copper plating layer at 5 °C. Dendrite morphology, kinetics, and current measurements differ significantly (smaller, slower, and lower, respectively) from those at higher temperatures (below). The inset shows the CV curve with a smaller Y-axis, demonstrating that even without visual changes, there is still a reaction occurring. The near-freezing temperature has slowed the reaction down significantly.
Copper Dendrite Formation At 98°C
The Poseidon AX system comes with 2 inlet ports to allow optimal mixing at the tip. This clip shows the formation of calcite using a protein mediate growth by mixing.
