Madison, WI - Imago Scientific Instruments® in conjunction with the Noah Corporation, its representatives in Japan, announced the shipment and acceptance of Imago's industry-leading LEAP 3000 HR(TM) Atom-Probe Microscope by the Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry (C.R.I.E.P.I.) located in Tokyo, Japan. This instrument, which was shipped in early 2008, is the second Imago atom-probe microscope purchased for the CRIEPI facility. The first Imago atom-probe microscope was delivered and installed at CRIEPI in 2005.
CRIEPI conducts fundamental, pioneering research for the electric power industry and offers the results of its research to the public for the benefit of all. Imago's LEAP is a powerful instrument for exploring the structure and function of materials at the atomic scale. It combines a proprietary atom-probe microscope with 3-dimensional analytical/visualization software. This unique nano-metrology tool has proven valuable in providing solutions to challenges facing researchers in the advanced materials field such as the study of point defects related to the embrittlement process, irradiation-induced precipitation, matrix damage and grain boundary segregation. Dr. Naoki Soneda, Senior Research Scientist of CRIEPI, explained, "The capabilities of the LEAP microscope have proven essential to CRIEPI's research program on the nanostructural evolution of irradiation-induced nanoprecipitates. The first LEAP, received in 2005, is in great demand. The addition of a second instrument will both expand our capabilities and increase our capacity - the growing demand for atom-probe microscopy at CRIEPI now requires a second system."
"The purchase of a second atom-probe microscope from Imago speaks for itself," said Emmanuel Lakios, President and Chief Operating Officer of Imago. The new LEAP microscope purchased by CRIEPI, the LEAP 3000 HR, was announced in August 2007. The "HR" designates that the product offers best-in-class High (mass) Resolution enabling the analysis of individual atoms to be performed with unprecedented compositional accuracy in voltage-pulsed mode. It complements the LEAP 3000 Si(TM) product family which was introduced in 2006 and targeted at semiconductor and microelectronics applications.
