Olympus has a long history in camera and lens design. In 1936, Olympus introduced its first camera, the Semi-Olympus I. The first truly innovative camera series from Olympus was the PEN models, launched in 1959. Half-frame format, allowing 72 pictures of 18 × 24 mm format on a standard 36 exposure roll of film, made PEN cameras compact and portable for their time.


Olympus OM Lenses
The PEN system design team, led by Yoshihisa Maitani, later created the OM system, a full frame professional 35 mm SLR system designed to compete with Nikon and Canon's bestsellers. The OM system introduced a new trend towards more compact cameras and lenses, being much smaller than its competitors and presenting innovative design features such as off-the-film (OTF) metering and OTF flash automation. Eventually the system included 14 different bodies, approximately 60 Zuiko-branded lenses, and numerous camera accessories.

However, Olympus did not move into the autofocus market in the way their competitors did, ultimately leading to their decline as a maker of professional film camera systems[citation needed].
The company is a leading manufacturer of digital cameras, with a large range of compact digital cameras. Olympus is the designer of the Four-Thirds System standard for digital single-lens reflex camera design and development. The Four-Thirds system includes the first consumer-grade digital SLRs to feature live preview, a feature now adopted by all major DSLR makers. Olympus' flagship DSLR camera is the E-5 released in 2010. Olympus is also the largest manufacturer of Four-Thirds lenses under the Zuiko brand; these lenses are known for their good optical quality and compactness. Olympus cameras originally only took the xD-Picture Card proprietary format (which it shares with Fujifilm), which has driven away some consumers. Recent cameras have included compatibility with the Secure Digital (SD) card format with their compact range and Compact Flash with their dSLR's in hopes of winning back customers. The most recent development is Olympus' focus on the Micro Four Thirds system.
In 1983, Olympus, along with Canon, branded a range of video recording equipment manufactured by JVC[citation needed], and called it "Olympus Video Photography", even employing renowned photographer Terance Donovan to promote the range[citation needed]. A second version of the system was available the year after, but this was Olympus' last foray into the world of consumer video equipment until digital cameras became popular[citation needed].
Since the beginning, the company has also been a manufacturer of microscopes and optics for specialised needs, such as medical use. The first microscope manufactured at Olympus was called the Asahi[3]. Nowadays Olympus is a worldwide renowned manufacturer of microscopes. Olympus offers a complete range of microscopes, which covers applications from education and routine studies up to state of the art research imaging systems both in life science and materials science.
Olympus also invented the Microcassette[citation needed]. The Olympus Pearlcorder L400, released in the 1980s, was the smallest and lightest Microcassette Voice recorder ever offered for sale, 2.9 (L) × 0.8 (H) × 2.0 in. (W) / 73 (L) × 20 (H) × 52 (W) 3.2 oz[4].
[edit]Olympus Diagnostics

Olympus also manufactures and provides client support for its fully automated random access automated analysers for clinical chemistry, immuno chemistry, and blood grouping. Prominent clinical chemistry analyzers are models AU400, AU640/680, AU2700 and AU5400. The newest model is AU5800 that may analyze up to 2000 samples per hour. These analyzers are used in medical laboratories by medical technologists. Other Olympus products used in the clinical laboratory are microscopes utilized by the microbiology and hematology departments (Note: Microscopie was not sold). Many Olympus imaging products are used in hospital endoscopy departments. The whole diagnostic business was sold to Beckman Coulter in August 2009.[5]
