Recently, material science research has intensified in an attempt to understand materials at the atomic level and apply them to electronic devices or battery materials. We perform the front-line material research by using the cutting-edge electron microscopy techniques. We develop low-voltage TEM/STEM which enables the single molecular imaging and single atom spectroscopy, and high-resolution environmental TEM for the in situ observations of interaction of solid surface with gas atmosphere to realize novel nanostructures and unforeseen properties.
