Training for in situ holder setup, operation, and workflows

We periodically host trainees from universities, national laboratories, or private laboratories that own our holders. During these training classes we demonstrate and practice using all hardware and the complete workflow for experimental set up and best practices for image acquisition with hands-on instruction. Classes are held for liquid cell holders, gas cell holders, and biasing-manipulator holders.

‍

The standard 2-day class covers the complete workflow and advanced configurations, exploration of applications, and experimentation in the TEM. The express 1-day class is helpful for experienced researchers who want to refresh their skills. If you have specific experimental challenges that you would like to solve for planned or ongoing experiments, let us know so we can discuss ahead of time how best to assist you.

‍

We are currently gauging interest for classes for Q3, and Q4 for 2026 for the following in-situ holders. Dates will be finalized with the first two trainees to confirm for a particular week.
