Microstructural analysis field

Notice: This page is an AI-generated English translation and may contain errors. The Japanese page is the authoritative version.

In the field of microstructural analysis, we use transmission electron microscopy, electron beam/X-ray diffraction, and various spectroscopic methods that have atomic-level resolution to elucidate the organization and structure of materials essential to our society, such as lightweight and high-strength materials, amorphous nanomaterials, and semiconductors. Furthermore, we are continuing our efforts not only to elucidate tissues and structures, but also to understand their formation mechanisms.

Support details

Through microstructural analysis using a transmission electron microscope, we support the elucidation of atomic-scale structures in real space, which is essential for research into nanomaterials. We can also support analysis of soft materials using low-acceleration scanning electron microscopes. Specifically, for nanomaterials researchers, we will provide cutting-edge aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopes, focused ion beam processing equipment, field emission scanning electron microscopes, etc. for external use, provide assistance and guidance in sample preparation, microscopy operations, image analysis, etc., and also hold specialized discussions regarding experimental results.
