High magnification observation (up to about 300,000 times) is possible.

SEM is a technique that allows for obtaining contrast based on the information from electrons emitted from a sample when an electron beam is directed at it, revealing the sample's surface roughness and compositional differences. - High magnification observation (up to about 500,000 times) is possible with simple operation. - Observation of secondary electron (SE) images, backscattered electron (BSE) images, and transmitted electron (TE) images is possible. - Observation can be conducted within an acceleration voltage range of 0.1 to 30 kV. - Samples up to 6 inches can be loaded into the device (depending on the equipment). - By combining options with SEM, various types of information can be obtained: - Elemental analysis using an EDX detector is possible. - Measurement of electron beam induced current (EBIC) allows for evaluation of the junction position and shape in semiconductors. - Crystal information can be obtained using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) method. - Three-dimensional structural information can be acquired through repeated FIB processing and SEM observation (Slice & View). - Cooling observation and atmosphere-controlled observation are available.

EBSD: Electron Backscatter Diffraction

Measurements can be performed in bulk state without the need for thinning processes like TEM (NBD: Nano Beam Diffraction). It has the high spatial resolution characteristic of SEM and relatively high strain sensitivity. Additionally, there is a possibility of detecting local lattice strain as tensor data.

● This is a leak testing device for small electronic components that does not use fluorinated inert liquids (PFAS-free). ● There is no longer a need for unstable visual confirmation through liquid immersion testing. It adopts a quantitative testing method that allows for stable pressure leak testing. ● It is a tabletop leak testing device specifically for gross leaks, with accuracy equal to or greater than that of liquid immersion testing. ● The detectable range is approximately 1×10⁻² Pa·m³/s to 1×10⁻⁶ Pa·m³/s (varies depending on the target product). ● It is suitable for sealed structures ranging from a few millimeters to a maximum of 80 × 70 mm.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.
