Yokogawa Electric

Yokogawa Electric Corporation is a Japanese measurement, control, and information company headquartered in Musashino, Tokyo, founded in 1915, that develops precision measurement instruments, industrial automation systems, and advanced test and measurement equipment serving research, energy, and process industries. In the scientific research domain, Yokogawa is perhaps best known for the CQ1 spinning disk confocal microscope and its Aquila SoRa super-resolution platform. The CQ1 offers high-throughput phenotypic cell imaging with simultaneous transmitted light and fluorescence acquisition, designed for automated compound screening and phenotypic profiling applications in pharmaceutical research. The SoRa (Super-Resolution via Optical Reassignment) module implements computational super-resolution by combining spinning disk confocal with multiphot image processing to achieve approximately 120 nm lateral resolution, suited for subcellular organelle imaging in live cells without the phototoxicity of point-scanning super-resolution methods. Yokogawa's AQ6374 and AQ6380 optical spectrum analyzers are precision instruments for characterizing fiber laser sources, WDM optical communications components, and LED emission spectra in photonics research. Their WT series precision power analyzers provide high-accuracy AC/DC power measurement used in energy efficiency research on inverters, motor drives, and renewable energy power electronics. For process industries, Yokogawa's ROTAMASS Coriolis mass flow meters and ADMAG AXW magnetic flowmeters provide traceable flow measurement standards used in calibration research. Their digital recording and data acquisition systems (DL950) are used in electrical engineering research for transient waveform capture.
