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 allows for the visualization of the distribution of substances as a two-dimensional image within a specified plane. It becomes possible to evaluate changes in the distribution of substances that are difficult to assess with regular point measurements through visible images. [Analysis Suitable for Imaging Measurement] ■ Evaluation of the diffusion state of substances (assessing the mixing of substances in a mixture, identifying the locations of impurities, etc.) ■ Evaluation of molecular structural changes (assessing the degree of oxidation from the surface to the interior of resin products, etc.) ■ Qualitative analysis of micro 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 the combination of light elements, and their specificity is manifested through structure, 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 case studies 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 the vicinity of 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 attaching 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 ■ The apparent spatial resolution is enhanced 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 materials or feel free to contact us.

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

We would like to introduce the pre-treatment for cross-sectional observation (sample cutting and resin embedding) 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" for sample cutting. 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 acquire 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 acquisition of spectra in the depth direction *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We have updated the article on the website of the semi-custom system construction "Select Beam." When planning factories, logistics warehouses, and stores, "system construction" has become an effective means of achieving cost reduction and shortening construction periods. The rationality of system construction through thorough standardization is very high, and it is adopted in many projects. However, due to the differing characteristics of each manufacturer, many business owners find themselves wondering, "Which manufacturer is suitable for our plans?" and "Is it really optimal compared to conventional methods?" In this article, we will compare and introduce the basic knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of system construction, as well as recommend manufacturers by purpose in a ranking format. ■ Semi-Custom System Construction "Select Beam" This is a unique method by Sakura Structure, and it is a "third option" that is less expensive than system construction. It is the most suitable method for low-rise long-span buildings such as stores, warehouses, factories, and logistics facilities, as well as high-rise buildings like hotels.

"Because the ground is poor, we have no choice but to use a structural slab." Such fixed notions of "over-design" unnecessarily drive up construction costs. In large space buildings such as warehouses, factories, and stores, the choice of floor slab type is one of the most significant variables affecting construction costs. What is important is to compare and verify the advantages and risks of each type, and to derive the optimal solution that is "suitable for the purpose" for the entire building. By reading this content, you will understand the following points: - Characteristics of the five main construction methods with different support forms - Recommended situations for adoption - Cost comparison examples of floor slabs "I am struggling with the dilemma of floor settlement risks and costs on weak ground." "I want to know the optimal solution for the site without being tied to a specific construction method." Construction companies and general contractor representatives facing such issues are encouraged to take a look.

Our company will be exhibiting at the "Hokuriku Technology Exchange Techno Fair 2026." Dates: October 23rd, 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM October 24th, 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM Venue: Fukui Prefectural Industrial Hall We look forward to your visit.
