digital camera offers
optimized resolutio ns
with a variety of func-
tionality. Its superior
GUI simplifies and

MF20
INTERMO LECULAR
INTERACTIO N
ANALYSIS SYSTEM
Leveraging the single-
molecule fluorescent
analysis method, the
MF2 0 brings high-
speed analysis of
high-precision inter-
molecular interactions
to the laborato ry for
an affordable cost.
In fiscal 2005, sales increased 10.3% to ¥7 9 ,1 5 3 million
(US$720 million). As a result of higher profits on sales in accor-
dance with sales gro wth, operating income rose 17.0% year on
year to ¥4 ,4 71 million (US$41 million).
Domestic sales declined 2.0% to ¥19,115 million (US$174 mil-
lion), while overseas sales advanced 14.9% to ¥60,038 million
(US$546 million).
Bioscience
>Sales in the bioscience field were ¥37,587 million (US$342 mil-
lion), an increase of 9 .5 % from the previous fiscal year.
Domestic sales decreased owing to intensified competition with
other companies, despite efforts to expand sales of the confocal
laser scanning microscope FLUO VIEW FV1 0 0 0, which was
released in fiscal 2 0 0 4 , and the Power BX series of testing micro-
scopes and Power IX series of inverted microscopes. O verseas
sales increased thanks to contributions from higher sales from the
introduction of the FLUO VIEW FV1000 in the United States.
O verseas sales growth compensated for the decline in Japan, lead-
ing to an overall increase in sales in the bioscience field.
AU2 700
AUTO MATED
CHEMISTRY
ANALYZER
The potential of auto-
mated analyzers is
opened up by the
AU2 700’s ultramicro,
sample dispensing,
high-speed data pro -
cessing capabilities
and communications
functionality.
Diagnostic Systems
>Sales in the diagnostic systems field totaled ¥41,566 million
(US$378 million), an increase o f 11.1% from the previous fiscal
year. Domestic sales were steady fo r biochemical examination
equipment and blood transfusio n-related products. In the United
States, sales rose for the AU5400, large-scale bio chemistry exami-
nation equipment. In Europe, expansion o f the installed user base
as a result of stronger marketing co ntributed considerably to over-
all sales gro wth.
Incorporation of Industrial M icroscopes
>O lympus began to reorganize its business structure in April 2005
to further improve development and manufacturing efficiency. Due
to similarities in the technological aspects between products, we
decided to transfer industrial microscopes, which had been a part
of the Industrial Systems Business, to the Life Science Business in
the fiscal year ending March 31, 2006. W e aim to increase the
speed of product development through the concentration of man-
agement reso urces, and further expand the microscope business by
redo ubling efforts in marketing.
