Nikon microscope Nikon microscope brand introduction

As the first manufacturer of optical equipment in modern Japan, Nikon was founded in 19 17, formerly known as Japan Optical Industry Co., Ltd., mainly producing military optical instruments, cameras and photographic lenses for the Japanese Ministry of National Defense. The investor was Mitsubishi Shipbuilding. At that time, Japan organized a navy and hoped that the products of optical sights would be localized. So Mitsubishi convened Japan's top optical-related enterprises, and after the merger and reorganization, Nikon was established.

Its main products are military lateral rangefinder, telescope, high-altitude running aiming system and so on. After World War I, Nikon turned to manufacturing telescopes, microscopes, astronomical telescopes and other civilian goods in order to survive. 192 1 year, Nikon tried to set up a joint venture with carl zeiss ... but failed. Then it recruited eight technicians from carl zeiss and began to introduce optical technology.

With the help of German technicians, Nikon completed a large-scale lens for aerial photography, and improved it on the basis of this lens to manufacture various ordinary photographic lenses. 1976, Nikon began to develop semiconductor engraving machines. 1978, Nikon's first semiconductor engraving machine system SR- 1 was successfully developed, and in 2003, the market share of semiconductor engraving machine ranked first in the world. It is said in the photography circle that money can buy Hubble, and there is only one Hubble in the sky. In addition to this astronomical thing, the most sophisticated and expensive lens system on the ground is the lens system in the engraving machine, and its price is in hundreds of millions of yen.

Another period in Nikon's history began. When studying Nikon's stock, we will find that the prosperity of the semiconductor industry often affects its stock trend. This is because the output value in this area accounts for nearly 30% of Nikon's overall output value. And its investment in precision machine development has reached more than 40% of the total investment, while camera production only accounts for about 30%. This data was provided in 2002. 1April, 988, it was officially named Nikon Nikon Company, which is very famous in the field of imaging.
