What is Poseidon AX?
Poseidon AX is a revolutionary solution for in situ TEM analysis of materials typically found in liquid environment. This includes paints, cosmetics, inks, biological materials, electrocatalysts, batteries, and more. Study in a static, flowing, electrochemical, or heated liquid environments, and drive towards discovery of more robust, costeffective, and efficient materials.
What sets Poseidon AX apart?
A complete solution from sample preparation to reporting results, Poseidon AX will push performance, productivity, and discovery to exponentially high levels for your lab.
The incorporation of first-of-its-kind machine vision software technology instantly elevates the capacity and productivity of the microscopist, enables capture of high resolution and high value data with fewer iterations, and streamlines large data set processing and reporting both inside and outside of the TEM lab
