, Within months of its release,
FEI's Titan(TM) scanning transmission electron microscope (S/TEM), the world's
most powerful, commercially-available microscope, has earned four prestigious
awards for its design, performance and innovation.

About FEI
FEI's Tools for Nanotech (TM), featuring focused ion- and electron-beam
technologies, deliver 3D characterization, analysis and modification
capabilities with resolution down to the sub-Angstrom level.
(Nasdaq: JMAR) has been issued a patent (US 6,845,145 B2) for advanced
X-ray lithography stepper technology that will enable a faster, more
cost-effective means of producing state-of-the-art zone plate optics
for its Compact X-ray Microscope and X-ray Nano Probe product lines. The Company is leveraging over a decade of laser and
photonics research to develop a diverse portfolio of products with
commercial applications in rapidly growing industries while continuing
to provide support for the U.

With R+D centers
in North America and Europe and sales and service operations in more than 40
countries around the world , FEI is bringing the nanoscale within the grasp of
leading researchers and manufacturers and helping to turn some of the biggest
ideas of this century into reality.
The combination of JMAR's soft X-ray source and its newly patented
stepper creates a unique tool for fabrication of the zone plate
diffractive optics used to collect and focus X-rays - a process
critical to the development of JMAR's X-ray Microscope and X-ray Nano
Probe products. Electron beam equipment is
presently used for this application in spite of the high cost, because
this requirement cannot be met with conventional optical lithography,"
said Bob Selzer, Senior VP for Technology and one of the patent
inventors . The product
also offers research scientists and manufacturing engineers a
versatile laser source that can be used for a multitude of
applications, including spectro-chemical analysis, nanotech scale
fabrication, microscopy and soft X-ray source generation.

Like the IDEA (Industrial Design Excellence Awards)
in the United States , the iF awards represent the best product design in
Europe.
JMAR's new patent addresses a critical interface between source and
stepper, creating a cost advantage in the zone plate manufacturing
process that JMAR plans to leverage in its new products.

The zone plate optical elements used in JMAR's new
product lines require concentric ring spacing in the sub-100 nanometer
range and are currently written using electron beam (eBeam)
lithography systems - a time-consuming and costly method, since the
thousands of concentric rings comprising the zone plate are written
one ring at a time. Walrod, President and Chief Executive Officer of JMAR.

iF is
committed to supporting the cause of industrial design and raising awareness
among industrial decision-makers on the crucial impact that design can have on
successful product marketing. JMAR is targeting
the nanotech, bioscience and semiconductor industries with its
Britelight(TM) Laser; Compact X-ray Light Source; X-ray Microscope -
for 3D visualization of single cells and polymers- and its X-ray Nano
Probe - enabling interaction, analysis and modification at the
nano-scale. Actual results could differ materially
from these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of
factors, including the failure of new product technology to perform as
predicted, competition from alternative technologies , uncertainties as
to the size of the market, cost and margins, failure to obtain market
acceptance , current or future government regulations affecting the use
of JMAR's products, the lack of availability of critical components,
the degree of protection from future patents, and other risks
associated with the development or acquisition of new products or
