Olympus Corporation   Established in 1919, Olympus Corporation is a precision machinery manufacturer specializing in manufacturing and marketing equipment and devices for medical and healthcare, imaging and information, and industrial applications. The company's greatest strength is "opto-digital technology", which integrates traditional optical technology and the latest digital and micromachining technologies.

Olympus developed the first gastrocamera in 1950, and has since developed a wide range of fiberscopes and videoscopes for direct internal observation of the human body. Today, we are expanding our minimally invasive treatment business to offer a wide range of instruments and peripheral devices for medical treatment and clinical diagnoses, including endoscopic surgery.
