1.
AU3000i Immunoassay System and
specialized reagents
> Olympus developed the AU3000i Immunoassay System and
specialized reagents by leveraging its know-how in the
area of fabricating systems that combine equipment and
reagents, as well as its automation technologies gained
through experience with chemistry analyzers. This marks
our full-fledged entry into the global immunoassay mar-
ket. By also promoting greater ties with our bio business,
our goal is to build momentum around this development to
accelerate achievements in personalized healthcare.
2.
FLUOVIEW 1000-MPE multiphoton laser
scanning microscope
> This new multiphoton laser scanning microscope enables
observation of cells and deep portions of tissues that could
not be seen with previous confocal laser microscopes. This
will contribute to advanced research especially in the area
of brain science.
3.
LEXT OLS3100 confocal laser scanning microscope
> This confocal laser scanning microscope enables rapid,
3D observation and measurement of the shape of minute
surfaces on semiconductors and advanced materials. In
addition to high resolution and multiple observation meth-
ods, these microscopes also offer ease-of-use.

1.
IPLEX-MXR industrial videoscope
> Olympus has added to its IPLEX-MXR series of industrial
videoscopes a light, compact videoscope with a fine exter-
nal diameter of just 4.4 mm, which is effective even with
narrow openings, broadening our lineup and expanding
potential applications of our industrial videoscopes.
2.
OSferion 60 bone replacement material
> Olympus developed and released OSferion 60 bone
replacement material with enhanced mechanical strength,
for application in cases that require implanting by press-
fitting. This augments our lineup of bone replacement mate-
rial that uses high-purity β-tricalcium phosphate as the
main ingredient.
3.
Dental shade analysis system with high-precision
measuring abilities
> Olympus developed the Crystaleye color analysis system
for use in dentistry. Precise analysis of color information is
possible through the use of a seven-band LED light source.
The shade of a patient’s teeth can be judged much more
accurately and easily than with the naked eye.
