Achievements
Nikon has led in technical innovations for more than 85 years, and the performance delivered by Nikon products has earned the company and its customers prestige and recognition in a variety of fields. The majority of recent Pulitzer Prize–winning photographers used Nikon equipment to capture the winning image. Nikon Coolpix cameras have received more awards and top rankings than any other consumer digital camera line. Plus, Nikon SLR cameras have been on every manned space flight since the Apollo 15 mission in 1971.
As “The Eyes of Science,” Nikon microscopes enable researchers to make critical breakthroughs, and Nikon instruments have been at the forefront of discoveries in such areas as AIDS, Alzheimer’s, cancer, in-vitro fertilization, and genetic research. The Nikon Diaphot microscope was used for the country’s first in-vitro birth, and is still the predominant microscope for assisted reproduction. Additionally, a Nikon microscope was used in the cloning process for Dolly the Sheep, the first successful fully grown mammal clone.
The tradition of Nikon quality pervades the company, extending beyond the excellence of its products. For the third consecutive year, Nikon has earned the distinct honor of receiving the National Association of Photo Equipment Technicians Manufacturer Service Support Award — the highest honor for consistent quality service within the industry. |
