Company Overview

The Olympus brand was founded in 1919, and the optical microscope "Asahi" was independently developed in 1921. Over the past 90 years, Olympus has always been at the forefront of the industry with its core competitiveness of "optical-digital technology", providing precise and professional microscope products to the field of life sciences. With the rapid development of science and technology, today's microscopes have long bid farewell to simple lens optical structures, and the application of microscopes is not limited to observing ordinary chromosome specimens. With the breakthrough innovation of Olympus optical technology, various smarter and more advanced microscopes have been developed and used, providing reliable support for further exploring the mysteries of life: Olympus FSX100 takes "excellent image", "super simple operation" and "good ergonomics" as the core concept, simplifying the complex, so that anyone can easily obtain stable and accurate microscopic images; the fully built-in laser scanning confocal microscope FV10i has a compact structure and a highly stable system through a fully built-in integrated design, making the complicated operation and maintenance of the laser confocal microscope a thing of the past, reflecting the humanized design concept; the FV1000-MPE with multi-photon laser scanning technology can deeply observe the internal core of thick specimens or in vivo specimens, which has a profound impact on the research of neuroscience and artificial organ tissue engineering, and opened a new era of deep observation of microscopes. Olympus microscope products always represent the advanced level of the industry, are widely used in the research of life sciences and industrial fields, and are well received by users and scientific research institutions. In April 2023, Bain Capital announced that the private equity firm had acquired Evident, the former scientific solutions division of Olympus, which is responsible for Olympus' industrial and life science businesses, after obtaining regulatory approval in Japan and other jurisdictions.

Nikon Precision Machinery (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.

Address: 12th Floor, T5, No. 36 Pingjiaqiao Road, Pudong New District, Shanghai

Company website: https://industry.nikon.com/zh-cn/

Company Overview

Nikon Instruments (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. was established in April 2003 as a Shanghai registered company fully invested by Nikon (officially opened on August 1 of the same year). With the increasing demand for Nikon products in the Chinese market, in order to take sales and after-sales service to a higher level, a company was established to assist agents in sales and service consultation. Subsequently, branches in Beijing and Guangzhou, and offices in Chengdu, Wuhan, and Xi'an were established. The company's main business includes living cell observation and analysis systems, biological microscopes, industrial microscopes, geometric and optical measuring instruments, and various technical services. Nikon will give full play to its more than 100 years of R&D capabilities and strong technology, not only to provide a large number of high-quality optical instruments headed by biological microscopes for the vast number of life science instrument users in China, but also to provide a large number of high-quality geometric and optical measuring instruments and various industrial microscopes for the vast number of industrial instrument users in China, and provide various high-quality technical services. Nikon was founded in 1917 by the merger of three Japanese optical product manufacturers at the time. It was originally called Nippon Kogaku Kogyo Co., Ltd. ("Nippon Kogaku"), and mainly engaged in the manufacture and development of precision optical glass. In 1925, Nikon introduced the Joico microscope, a microscope with a revolving nosepiece and interchangeable objectives. Nikon's Microscope Division has grown significantly in the decades that followed, bringing groundbreaking polarizing and stereo microscopes to the market in addition to measurement and inspection products for an ever-demanding market. Applications and disciplines that have historically developed independently are becoming increasingly blurred in areas such as lab-on-a-chip and biophysics, leading to unique cross-disciplinary products such as the AZ100 and LV-UDM microscopes. Cell research demands the ability to study the interactions and movements of living cells in situ, leading to the introduction of the innovative Cellogy and Cell Care products - the BioStation series. Nikon has taken steps to address the challenges it faces along the way, and has helped to achieve some impressive results with innovative solutions.
