Introducing the "Observation Mode" of a chip capacitor (MLCC) under a microscope!

We would like to introduce an example of cross-sectional observation of mounted components conducted by our company. Using commercially available computer circuit boards, we observed the solder joints of mounted components and the internal structures of the components with a metal microscope. The observation modes of the metal microscope include bright field observation, dark field observation, and polarized light observation, among others. Additionally, there are observations using transmitted light, and the observation mode is selected according to the sample. By conducting cross-sectional observations before and after reliability testing, we can evaluate the reliability of the product. When observing, it is important to select an appropriate "observation mode" to clearly capture the condition of the solder joint interface and defects such as cracks. [Case Overview] ■ Using commercially available computer circuit boards ■ Observing the solder joints of mounted components and the internal structures of the components with a metal microscope ・Observation modes: bright field observation, dark field observation, polarized light observation, etc. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

You can closely observe the soldering condition of electronic components on the implementation board and the internal structure of the components!

We conduct "cross-sectional observation of surface-mounted electronic components." Through cross-sectional observation after mechanical polishing, it is possible to closely examine the solder joint condition (presence of cracks or voids) of electronic components on the mounted substrate, as well as the internal structure of the components. For "SOP components," detailed observation can be made from the overall cross-section to the solder connection, and for "aluminum electrolytic capacitors," it is possible to observe the internal structure of the electrolytic capacitor components and their connection to the substrate. 【Features】 ■ SOP (Small Outline Package) components - Detailed observation can be made from the overall cross-section of SOP components to the solder connection. ■ Chip ceramic capacitors - Detailed observation can be made from cracks in the component material to cracks in the solder area. ■ Aluminum electrolytic capacitors - Observation can be made from the internal structure of the electrolytic capacitor components to their connection to the substrate. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The Fukuoka area, along with the rest of Kyushu, faces serious risks of flooding and typhoons almost every year. In particular, August 2025 left significant flooding and landslide damage across various regions due to consecutive linear precipitation bands and Typhoon No. 12. When such unpredictable disasters occur, the loss of lifelines such as electricity can lead to catastrophic damage. To protect households and businesses from unforeseen circumstances, it is essential to prepare power sources as part of "Fukuoka Power Outage Measures." An effective solution is a system that can provide stable electricity even during disasters. Introducing storage batteries for disaster preparedness in Fukuoka is not only crucial for ensuring a safe living environment for households but also essential for business continuity planning (BCP measures using storage batteries) to keep corporate activities running. Securing emergency power sources at bases in Fukuoka for offices and factories is extremely important for business continuity. Shall we start preparing for disasters that can happen at any time? For inquiries about optimal capacity, installation space, and implementation costs, please feel free to contact our Fukuoka sales office. Our specialized staff will propose the best plan tailored to your needs.
