About Olympus Microscopy

Olympus is a leader in optical and opto-digital technology. As a world-wide renowned manu-facturer of microscopes Olympus offers a complete product range which covers appli-cations from education and routine studies up to state of the art research imaging systems both in life science and material science.
Work environments, areas of application and technical requirements placed upon our light-optical microscopes are all changing rapidly. This applies to material science but primarily to the fast growing field of life science. Molecular biology and gene tech-nology require ever more complicated appli-cations, from the tailor-made stand-alone solution to the high-end complete system. As a market leader in opto-digital technology and as a supplier of one of the widest ranges of microscopes, we have taken up the challenge and accelerate the development of intelligent, cost-effective system solutions. That is why, today, the name Olympus stands as much for modular variety and ergonomics as it does for robust analytical and documentational functions.

Olympus has been operating in the microscope market since 1919. We are therefore able to call on extensive experience. And we want our customers to share in this experience. This is why Olympus pursues a strictly solution-oriented development strategy, in which a close service relationship with its customers plays a vital role. We define the benchmark data for future product lines in close co-operation with suitable partners and our development centres in Japan and Germany. This results in innovations that make the users feel they could not have wished for anything better. Olympus is already thinking about the next generation of user-friendly microscope systems.

Mission Statement

Every single person at Olympus Microscopy is passionately committed to developing ground-breaking solutions which really help the users.
This makes Olympus Microscopy a true innovator because we do not only consider the technological side of things – we also fully understand the practical requirements.
Olympus Microscopy thereby enables users to experience their work as an exciting voyage of discovery time and time again, because more options are open to them and they can concentrate solely on their complex tasks.
