    産業機器分野のNEXIVに測定順序を自動最適化する新機能が追加され、展示会で披露されたと報じられた。
  2. FY2018-Q2ReframedAnnual report

    「Effective 29 June 2017, we established a new Healthcare Division by integrating the Microscope Solutions Business, which had previously been included in the Instruments Business, and the Medical Business. The aim was to quickly integrate and optimize the organization and functions, create business synergies, strengthen existing businesses and accelerate the creation and development of new businesses in the health, medical and biotechnology fields, where growth is expected.」

    The company shifted from its previous framework, which treated Microscopy Solutions as a standalone growth area, to a healthcare business integrating the medical and biotechnology fields in order to accelerate growth.
  3. FY2018-Q1RestatedAnnual report

    「In the microscopy field of the Instruments Business, sales declined despite firm domestic performance, due mainly to delays in the execution of government budgets in the United States and China. Profit also declined, reflecting increased upfront investment in regenerative medicine-related activities. In the industrial equipment field, sales increased on the recovery of market conditions in the United States and Asia, but profit declined due in part to higher expenses to expand sales and strengthen development.」

    Microscopy remained sluggish because of delays in the execution of overseas government budgets, while industrial equipment posted higher sales as market conditions recovered in the United States and Asia. Conditions in the growth areas therefore remain divergent by field and region.
  4. FY2017AdvancedAnnual report

    Microscopy remained firm in Asia, while sluggish market conditions and capital investment continued in Europe, the United States and the industrial equipment field.

    「In the Instruments business, the microscope-related field was sluggish in Japan and Europe but performed steadily in Asia. In the industrial equipment-related field, capital investment was sluggish in the United States and Asia.」

    While microscopes performed steadily in Asia, some markets were sluggish depending on the region and field, and the business continued to be described as a growth business.
  8. FY2016First statedAnnual report

    「In the Instruments business, which we position as a growth business, the microscope-related market as a whole was sluggish, but our business performed steadily as we expanded our market share.」

    We position the expansion of microscope-related market share and the expansion of industrial equipment as growth areas.
