An Introduction to Surface Treatment and the Role of Power Supplies Surface treatment is an additional process applied to the surface of a material for the purpose of adding functions such as rust and wear resistance or improving the decora[...] Understanding Radiation: Effects on the Body and X-ray Safety Radiation is a general term for alpha, beta, and gamma rays generated by the decay of radioactive isotopes, cosmic rays from outer space, and particle rays and electromagne[...] What is the difference between Radioactivity, Radiation, and Radioactive Materials? Many of us have heard the words radioactivity, radiation, and X-rays before. Perhaps you may have a somewhat scary image of them. However, radioactivity and radiation are f[...] Constant Voltage (CV) vs Constant Current (CC) Power Supplies A power supply is a device that supplies electrical energy to one or more electric loads. They are primarily of two types: voltage sources and current sources. In general, [...] Difference between DC power and AC power There are two types of electric current. These are direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC). Direct current is a method in which electricity always flows in a certain [...] Power Electronics for a Decarbonized Society Power electronics refers to technology that converts and controls electric power using semiconductor devices for electric power. Especially for a decarbonized society, to[...] A Beginner's Guide to Using Power Supplies Safely Many new employees in Japan will join the company in April. Accidents and injuries caused by a lack of knowledge and experience tend to occur during this period. This time, we w[...] SEM Tech Explained, Part 3: Principles of SEM Elemental Analysis We will introduce a method to analyze the elemental composition of a sample using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and an Electron Probe Micro Analyzer (EPMA). Both de[...] X-ray Image Processing and Automated Inspection - X-ray NDT series (3) Non-destructive inspection using X-rays can perform various inspections. The most common application is the detection of foreign contaminants. Let's introduce the proce[...] SEM Tech Explained, Part 2: A Guide to Electron Microscope Lenses This time, we will introduce the lens of the electron microscope in detail.
