Industry

This exhibit displays the progress of our industrial equipment and technologies. Here we introduce Nikon products and technologies that contribute to various industries, such as Semiconductor Lithography Systems, FPD Lithography Systems, measurement and inspection instruments, and encoders.
Semiconductor lithography systems are considered “the most precise equipment in history”. We display the “NSR-1505G2A”, an early model of the Nikon semiconductor lithography system, which is registered as Essential Historical Material for Science and Technology at the National Museum of Nature and Science, Tokyo. In this unprecedented exhibition, you can actually operate an exhibited lithography system and stage.

Bioscience and Medical Imaging

This exhibit introduces Nikon's activities in the healthcare and medical fields. Through videos and displays of actual equipment, you can learn about the advances in Nikon microscopes, various products used in the latest developments in the medical field, and Nikon's challenges in even newer areas of medical technology.
iPS cells are a major focus in the field of regenerative medicine. Here we show the BioStation CT Cell Culture Observation System, which is utilized in iPS cell research. The N-SIM Super Resolution Microscope, which achieves double the resolution of conventional optical microscopes, is also displayed.
