• Analyzing the interior of glass fiber reinforced plastic
The following is an example of analyzing the interior of glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP).
Using a CT image to observe the fiber orientation inside the material showed that the fibers were oriented differently in the surface
and center layers. Fibers in the surface layer were oriented parallel to the flow direction (direction the plastic material flowed during
manufacturing), whereas fibers in the center layer were oriented perpendicular to the flow.This result is also consistent with computer

• Observing water inside a fuel cell
The following is an example of observing water in the gas diffusion layer of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell. This shows that the presence
of water can clearly be determined and the formation, distribution, and movement of water can be observed non-destructively. Therefore,
this inspection is expected to make a significant contribution to the development of fuel cells.
