• Microscope covers, slides and other glass for clinical studies
• Glass for genetic testing and for glass-bottom tissue cultures
• Products for pathologic and cytologic diagnosis support systems

With the rapid developments in the field of medical biology in recent years, the need for more diverse and advanced covers, slides and glass has grown.

To meet customer needs, the Life Sciences Department has worked in-house to develop printing inks and special coatings for various product uses, successfully creating a wider range of advanced products.

Always trying to reduce the burden on the environment, the Life Sciences Department has increased their efforts to develop products with the three Rs in mind: recycle, reuse and reduce. Going beyond glass products, they have implemented a collection and reuse program for the cover glass used in automatic sealers, and developed a device to reuse plankton counting slides with biodegradable plastic as well as reuse waste alcohol.

• Cap glass for laser diodes
• Cap glass for image sensors
• Infrared cut filter glass
• Sealing glass
• Glass substrates for displays
• Various evaporation coating products
• LCD projector related parts

For specialty glass products including filter glass, we have established an integrated production system from glass composition design, mixing and melting of materials to product manufacturing in order to meet the specifications required by each user.

Based on our proprietary glass cutting technology, which we have been improving on a continuous basis ever since our establishment, we have also successfully established a processing technology that allows the processing of 30μm thin glass and we can now offer fine processing technologies such as microblasting and etching.

Recently, we began tackling glass plate pressing and we produce lens arrays and nonspherical lenses for which the entire process from mold formation and evaporation coating to lens surface finishing is undertaken in house.
