Nikon

Nikon Instruments Europe, a subsidiary of Nikon Corporation, is a world-renowned brand firmly established as a market leader in optical instrumentation. Now in its 93rd year, Nikon provides complete optical systems that offer optimal versatility, performance and productivity. Cutting edge instruments include microscopes, microscopy equipment, digital imaging systems and software.

Nikon’s in-house expertise in optical technologies has been instrumental in differentiating its products from its competitors. Nikon microscopes have been at the forefront of many science developments in recent years, such as the development of IVF techniques and the cloning of Dolly the sheep. The introduction of the Eclipse range of infinity optics has been a radical departure from traditional microscope design, offering increased resolution, greater light-gathering capability and high performance in confocal imaging, and transforming microscopes into versatile imaging workstations that provide users with instant access to several imaging methods.

Promoting creativity and trustworthiness as part of the company's global mission statement, Nikon continues to develop innovative products, while also introducing the underlying need to keep cells alive, through its ethos of cellogy, in all its live cell products, including confocal. The groundbreaking A1/A1R series sets a new standard for advanced timelapse studies of rapid cellular interactions to bring biological imaging to life, while Nikon has responded to the need for cell friendly imaging with the innovative BioStation incubator imaging systems. Nikon is now at the forefront of super resolution microscopy offering exquisitely detailed nanoscale imaging of both fixed and living specimens with the N-SIM (licensed from the University of California, USA) and N-STORM (licensed from  Harvard University, USA) systems.
