Micro FT-IR imaging measurement

It is possible to visualize the distribution of substances within the specified plane! Suitable for evaluating the diffusion state of substances, etc.

We would like to introduce our "Microscopic FT-IR Imaging Measurement." It is possible to visualize the distribution of substances as a two-dimensional image within a specified plane. This allows for the evaluation of changes in the distribution of substances that would be difficult to assess with regular point measurements, using visible images. 【Analysis Suitable for Imaging Measurement】 ■ Evaluation of the diffusion state of substances (assessment of the mixing of substances in a mixture, evaluation of the locations of impurities, etc.) ■ Evaluation of molecular structural changes (assessment of the degree of oxidation from the surface to the interior of resin products, etc.) ■ Qualitative analysis of minute foreign substances that are difficult to sample *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Essential materials alongside metals and inorganic materials! Introducing examples of analysis and evaluation services for organic materials.

Organic materials such as solvents, additives, pharmaceuticals, and plastics are essential materials alongside metals and inorganic materials. They have a wide variety of types due to combinations of light elements, and their specificity arises from structures, intermolecular forces, and electron behavior. However, it seems that chemical instrumentation analysis and evaluation are necessary for a fundamental understanding of their properties. This document presents examples of analysis and evaluation services for organic materials. [Contents] ■ FT-IR analysis ■ GC-MS analysis ■ Molecular weight distribution evaluation by GPC (SEC) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Introducing a method for analyzing near the surface through total internal reflection of infrared light by closely adhering micro ATR crystals!

Based on imaging obtained from FT-IR spectra using the ATR method, cross-sectional analysis of organic multilayer films such as aluminum laminate film can be performed. The ATR method (Attenuated Total Reflection) is a technique that involves closely adhering a micro ATR crystal to the sample, allowing for analysis near the surface through total internal reflection of infrared light. Due to the influence of the refractive index of the crystal applied to the sample, the apparent spatial resolution is enhanced, enabling the analysis of smaller foreign substances. 【Features of the ATR Method】 ■ A technique that analyzes near the surface through total internal reflection of infrared light ■ Enhanced apparent spatial resolution due to the influence of the refractive index of the crystal applied to the sample ■ Enables the analysis of smaller foreign substances *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We will introduce the pre-treatment for cross-sectional observation using devices for sample cutting, such as band saws!

We would like to introduce the sample preparation (sample cutting and resin embedding) for cross-sectional observation conducted by Aites Co., Ltd. We use cutting equipment suitable for cutting large substrates and thick components, such as the band saw "HOZAN K-100" and the IsoMet "Buehler Low Speed Saw." With the "HOZAN K-100," samples up to approximately X150mm, Y230mm, and Z70mm in size can be cut. Additionally, after cutting, the samples are embedded in epoxy resin or similar materials, but it is also possible to embed in resin before cutting. 【Product Lineup】 ■ Band Saw ■ IsoMet ■ Multifunctional Diamond Wire Saw *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Depth-direction measurements using Raman spectroscopy! Material analysis of each layer is possible from the surface of multilayer films.

Our "Micro Raman Spectrophotometer" employs a confocal optical system, allowing for the adjustment of the focal position in the depth direction, similar to a microscope, enabling material analysis of each layer from the surface of multilayer films. Using the confocal function of the micro Raman spectrophotometer, the focus of the Raman laser light can be varied in the depth direction. Additionally, by continuously changing the focal position, it is possible to obtain spectra continuously in the depth direction. 【Features】 ■ Adoption of a confocal optical system ■ Enables material analysis of each layer from the surface of multilayer films ■ Capable of varying the focus of the Raman laser light in the depth direction ■ Allows for continuous spectral acquisition in the depth direction *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

● 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.

● The production time for casting prototypes can be shortened! Since model production is not required, the time needed to create prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! With one molding process, different products with similar shapes or varying dimensions can be molded at the same time. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.
