Hisashi Zaimoku. System Group 2, System Development Dept.In August 2017, JEOL released its latest state-of-the-art scanning electron microscope (SEM), the JSM-IT500HR. The new JSM-IT500HR delivers the maximum practical magnification of x100,000 and also integrates an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS) with the system. This next-generation SEM enables operations for various applications such as surface imaging, elemental analysis, and report creation to be performed seamlessly. In the following behind-the-scenes development of the SEM, we introduce to you our development team members whose "non-stop" drive and passion have made the launch of JSM-IT500HR possible.

STORY 03Definitely, we can : The story behind the birth of the world’s smallest high performance spectrometer
JEOL RESONANCE Inc.
Kenichi Hachiya. Development Group,Engineering DivisionIn August 2014, JEOL RESONANCE released a new NMR spectrometer, the ‘Z series’ (JNM-ECZS & JNM-ECZR). The routine ‘S’ model delivers performance equivalent to the high-end research ‘R’ model, but the spectrometer was smaller than all previous models – the main cabinet being just half the size of existing models. Here, we continue the story behind the birth of the world’s smallest, high performance NMR spectrometer.

STORY 02To a New World. : Cryogenic probesThe development of "UltraCOOL" & "SuperCOOL" probes
JEOL RESONANCE Inc.
Katsuo Asakura. Assistant Manager, Solution Marketing(at the time)In 2013, JEOL RESONANCE launched the cryogenic NMR probe systems,"UltraCOOL" and "SuperCOOL". Delivering sensitivity far exceeding conventional room temperature probes together with ease of use beyond that previously associated with cooled probes, such as probe change whilst cooled, and variable temperature measurement capability, the products received a lot of positive response. However, many dramatic stories lay behind the birth of these products.

STORY 01The Beginning of Endless : The story behind the World’s first commercial NMR system that does not require helium replenishment
JEOL RESONANCE Inc.
Engineering Department Executive manager Hiroto SuematsuIn April 2013, JEOL RESONANCE successfully released the world’s first NMR system with a zero-boil-off superconducting magnet. Here, we trace the birth of this epoch-making system that overcomes the problems of unreliable and increasingly expensive helium supplies.
