Here you’ll find information about Olympus products like the Stylus line of compact digital cameras, the E-Series line of digital SLRs, photo printers and more. You’ll also find articles about professional photographers who use Olympus products.
"A global corporation with extensive R&D resources, a vast product offering and facilities around the world, Olympus began in 1919 (under the name TakachihoThe Asahi microscope (1920) Seisakusho) with one goal: to become a leader and innovator in the mass production of microscopes.
As a testament to the blending of innovative ideas, advanced technology, and manufacturing know-how — a combination that has nourished our growth and satisfied our customers for more than three quarters of a century — the company did, indeed, make a strong entry into the market with its first microscope, the Asahi, just one year after its origination.
By 1921 we had begun to use Olympus as our brand name; by 1935 we had opened a world-class optical research facility dedicated to creating the finest possible camera lenses. From the world's first gastrocamera Semi-Olympus Iin 1950—which initiated our involvement with medical systems and health care equipment—to pioneering development of compact SLR cameras and the world's first Microcassette® recorder, Olympus has continued to create successful responses to market needs around the world—like clinical blood analyzers, powerful microscope systems, and breakthrough digital cameras.
At Olympus, our ideas have proliferated as rapidly as the technology has evolved. We have channeled them both into the groundbreaking products that our changing world requires—products like acoustic microscopes, ultrasonic endoscopes, reagent AIDS detection, and digital voice recorders. Or, like the Infinity Stylus, one of the best-selling cameras in history.
Today, 87 years after we made our first microscope, we remain as young, as eager, as curious and as vigorous as we were in the beginning."
