Madison, WI – (October 17, 2005) – Imago® Scientific Instruments, in conjunction with its representatives based in Japan, the Noah Corporation, announced today that they have delivered a LEAP® 3000 Metrology System to Tohoku University. Tohoku selected Imago due to its global leadership position in nanoscale metrology and the proven capability of Imago’s LEAP system. The Tohoku University system is the third system Imago has installed in Japan in the last six months.
The LEAP analyzes materials by removing and examining individual atoms, enabling metrology at the atomic scale. The true power of the LEAP lies in its ability to tie compositional information to structure on the atomic scale, thereby allowing researchers to analyze the nanometer-scale properties of materials. The LEAP at Tohoku University is being used to analyze the effects of nuclear irradiation on materials.
“We are proud and honored to have been selected by Tohoku University Institute for Materials Research to provide Imago’s revolutionary metrology tool, which will enable a deeper understanding of the properties of irradiated materials,” said Noah CEO and President Hiroshi Tabira. Mr. Tabira added, “Imago’s LEAP 3000 Metrology System is the only instrument of its kind capable of providing the comprehensive, three-dimensional, micro-structural data required by the world-class Tohoku researchers to advance materials science.”
Manny Lakios, Senior Vice President of Field Operations for Imago, said, “We are pleased that Imago’s LEAP has proven to be the tool of choice for atomic-scale metrology applications. We look forward to working with our partners at the Noah Corporation to place more of our tools in environments where atomic-scale resolution and characterization are enabling capabilities for science and technology.”
