Research on advanced methods for observation and assessment of the physical properties of materials is being conducted such as the dynamic observation of magnetic vortices in high-temperature super conductors using holography electron microscope, observation of cancer cells and stems cells using X-ray microscopy technology and the phase-type X-ray imaging technology through cooperative research with the synchrotron radiation facilities of SPring-8 (Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute ) and High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK).

1MV Field-Emission Electron Microscope

1MV Field-Emission Electron Microscope

This new 1-MV holography electron microscope uses the wave property of electrons to make electric and magnetic field observations with atomic resolution, to investigate the foundation of quantum phenomena, and to explore the structure and function of bio-molecules. With these capabilities, the 1-MV holography electron microscope promises to lead us into the next industrial revolution through fundamental advances in our understanding of science.
