Glass-ribbon
The Glass-ribbon is incredibly thin, allowing it to be bent and rolled like plastic film. Despite being unpolished, the surface remains exceptionally smooth. Additionally, the Glass-ribbon features rounded edges on both sides, enhancing its resistance to bending and twisting.

Application Example
Light Source ‘HandySPIM’ light sheet microscope
The light guide plate of the light souce ‘HandySPIM’ for light sheet microscope, developed in collaboration with the Graduate Schools of University of Tokyo, Miyuki Giken Co., Ltd., and PhotonTech Innovations Co., Ltd., and PhotonTech Innovations Co, Ltd., has been adopted.
The thin and uniform thickness of Glass-ribbon significantly contributes to creating high-intensity light sheet without lenses or mirrors.
