JEOL Ltd. Announces the Release of the New Electron Microscope JEM-120i JEOL Ltd. announced the release of the new electron microscope JEM-120i developed with the concepts of “Compact”, “Easy To Use”, and “Expandable” on May 30, 2024. Electron microscopes are utilized in a wide range of fields from biotechnology to nano technology, polymers, and advanced materials. With the expansion of application, usages are also expanding, which requires a tool that is easy-to-use for research and testing purposes. To satisfy such needs, the JEM-120i has evolved into a next-generation microscope that is easy to use, from operation to maintenance, for both beginner and experienced users. Compact: The JEM-120i adopts a totally new appearance and compact design that fits any installation location. The footprint has been reduced by more than 50%, and the volume occupied by the instrument is less than one-third of that of conventional models, enabling effective use of space. The instrument height is lower than 1,800mm, which fits just about any installation room. Easy to Use: The enhanced TEM control system and fully automated apertures eliminated the need for switching the magnification mode and selecting an aperture. The JEM-120i provides seamless observations from low to high magnification. It takes only 4 steps from loading a specimen to completing an observation. After inserting the specimen holder, clicking the Start Button automatically performs observation preparation operations such as voltage increase and emission start. A wide area image is captured at the same time, and clicking the target field of view will complete the stage movement. Standard “Butler mode” assists data acquisition. Even a beginner can capture data easily. Expandable: In addition to the standard multi-function camera, a bottom-mount camera of higher pixel count can be selected as an option. Attachments such as the scanning image observation function (STEM), elemental analysis function (EDS), and cryo observation function can be applied, regardless of instrument configuration. The instrument can be expanded at any time to meet the changing needs of microscopy over time. The proven scripting function (PyJEM) with the high-end models, can create an algorithm for automation. The automation can increase the utilization rate of the instrument and improve data output efficiency. Main Specifications: Resolution- 0.2 nm (HC), 0.14 nm (HR). Accelerating voltage- 20-120kV. Magnification- 50-1,200,000 (HC), 50-1,500,000 (HR). Standard camera- JEOL CMOS camera (NeoView) 4M pixel, 30fps. Field of view search/adjustment/recording.

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Japanese stocks, typically moving 6.4% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Upcoming Dividend • Mar 21

Average forward P/E is 16x in the Medical Equipment industry in Japan. Total returns to shareholders of 45% over the past three years. Simply Wall St's valuation model estimates the intrinsic value at JP¥8,046 per share. New Risk • Nov 01
New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Japanese stocks, typically moving 6.3% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Upcoming Dividend • Sep 21

JEOL Ltd. Announces its Launch of the FIB-SEM system “JIB-PS500i” JEOL Ltd. announced its launch of the FIB-SEM system “JIB-PS500i” on February 1, 2023. 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. Price Target Changed • Nov 30
