With the finer structure of advanced materials and advancing complexity of processes, evaluation techniques such as morphological observation and elemental analysis require higher resolution and precision. In the preparation of samples for transmission electron microscopes (TEM) in the semiconductor industry as well as in the battery and materials fields, "higher precision" and "thinner sample" are required.
This product is a combined system of the FIB (Focused Ion Beam) system that can process with high accuracy and the SEM (scanning electron microscope) of high resolution to satisfy these needs.
Main Features
- The FIB column enables processing with a large-current Ga ion beam up to 100nA. The high-current processing is particularly effective in preparing cross section samples for large-area imaging and analysis. In addition, the FIB column is set to a shorter working distance. Along with a newly-developed power supply, it has led to greatly improved processing performance at a low accelerating voltage.
- A newly-developed super conical lens system is built into the SEM column, greatly improving the image resolution at a low accelerating voltage. This superb imaging is very useful to check the end-point milling status of lamella specimen using the SEM.
-
The JIB-PS500i adopts a large specimen chamber and a newly-developed specimen stage, increasing the stage movement range, and thus accommodating a large specimen.
In addition, a newly-developed STEM detector that can be used with the stage tilt at 90 degrees, allows for a seamless transition from the TEM specimen preparation to STEM observation. - For the operating GUI, the “SEM center”, which has been well received in the JSM-IT800 series of high-resolution scanning electron microscopes is employed, enabling full integration of EDS analysis.
- A double tilt cartridge and a dedicated TEM holder allows for more precise alignment while making specimen transfer between TEM and FIB easier.
Sales target
50 units/year

CEO Pay Tops $18 Million as Turnover Drives Six-Year High in Sign-On Bonuses, According to Diligent29.9.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release
Median granted CEO pay at S&P 500 companies rose by more than 8% in 2025 to reach $18.2 million, while cash sign-on bonuses for incoming CEOs hit a six-year high, according to the Executive Compensation in 2026 report from Diligent Market Intelligence. The findings point to a more consequential compensation environment for boards: leadership talent is in shorter supply, CEO transitions are costly, and investors continue to scrutinize how pay decisions connect to performance and long-term value. The Russell 3000 also saw remuneration packages grow larger, with median granted CEO pay climbing over 2% to $7.4 million. “This level of growth has been fueled by performance-based equity and stock awards while both indices have been delivering strong total shareholder returns,” said Josh Black, Editor-in-Chief of Diligent Market Intelligence. “Boards are also increasingly viewing CEOs as a scarce global talent pool.” CEO turnover drives higher transition costs Cash sign-on bonuses for new S&P
Momentum Grows for Miro MCP as Users Embrace the Canvas for AI Collaboration29.9.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release
Miro®, the collaboration and context layer for the AI era, has reported more than 16 million calls to its MCP server since its launch in February 2026, with usage more than doubling since May. In September alone, MCP calls are on track to reach 6 million*. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260929837812/en/ Miro's MCP server is a Model Context Protocol integration letting AI tools connect to Miro boards—creating diagrams, tables, and canvas content, and reading existing board data programmatically. Teams increasingly rely on AI to accelerate work—from discovery and planning to design and code. Yet most AI interactions happen in chat windows or static outputs that exist separately from the team's actual workspace. Miro's MCP server changes this by giving users a way to make the output from their AI tools visual, immediately editable, and accessible to the whole team on a shared canvas. Miro user data shows Claude
I-SEC Optimizes Airport Security Workforce Planning with Gurobi and Syntro29.9.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release
Gurobi Optimization, LLC, the leader in decision intelligence technology, and its partner Syntro, a provider of workforce scheduling solutions, are helping organizations like I-SEC, an international provider of airport security services, make better operational decisions in increasingly complex and highly regulated operating environments. As organizations face growing pressure to balance labor costs, regulatory requirements, service levels, and employee needs, many are turning to mathematical optimization to improve operational decision making. Airport security workforce planning is particularly complex, requiring organizations to align staffing levels with changing passenger volumes while adhering to strict regulations, accounting for required breaks and certifications, and ensuring coverage across multiple locations and checkpoints. Working with Syntro, I-SEC implemented a shift generator that leverages Gurobi’s solver. Rather than assigning employees directly to schedules, the solut
NTT DATA Launches ‘Intact, intelligent action.’ to Protect Fragile Places and Advance Sustainability Commitments29.9.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release
NTT DATA, a global leader in AI, digital business and technology services, today announced “Intact, intelligent action.” This global initiative is designed to help people and organizations translate sustainability commitments into meaningful action.
