Olympus

Olympus Corporation is a Japanese company best known for its expertise in optics, precision instruments, and medical technology. While many people recognize Olympus for its high-quality cameras and imaging equipment, the company has significantly expanded its operations into the medical field, becoming a leader in medical technologies, including endoscopy and minimally invasive surgical systems.

Key areas where Olympus operates:

1. Medical Systems: Olympus is a leading provider of endoscopic devices used in diagnostics and therapeutic procedures. Their products are widely used in gastroenterology, urology, pulmonology, and other medical fields. The Olympus EVIS X1, for example, is one of their advanced endoscopy systems, designed to improve diagnostic precision.

2. Life Science Solutions: Olympus develops microscopes and scientific imaging systems used in research labs and universities, supporting the fields of life sciences, biotechnology, and clinical research.

3. Cameras and Audio Equipment: Although Olympus exited the camera business in 2020, it was previously known for producing high-quality digital cameras, including their mirrorless series under the OM-D and PEN brands. They also offer professional-grade audio recording devices.

4. Surgical Systems: In addition to its endoscopy business, Olympus develops surgical solutions for minimally invasive procedures. Their surgical products include systems for ENT (ear, nose, throat) surgeries and energy devices for tissue management.

Founded in 1919, Olympus initially focused on microscope and thermometer development but has evolved into a global player in both the medical and scientific fields.
