Olympus OEM Support recognizes that an increased need for automated measuring and inspection systems has caused an upsurge in demand for high magnification optics, subassemblies and components. The demand for automated tools in the semiconductor quality control area has  pushed the optical industry to provide flexible, high quality optical parts. To meet this need, Olympus has created an innovative building block design system that enables an system integrator to easily integrate separate components such as objective lenses, Illuminators, nosepiece turrets, and autofocus units into their equipment designs where they can be controlled remotely or used manually. To make it easy for all OEM optics customers to incorporate our building block design system, we publish a comprehensive Components guide which provides system integrators with dimensional and optical data for all our components.

 Not all OEM relationships, however, require automated tools. Many tools, such as probers and wire bonders, use stereomicroscopes on board like the Olympus SZ2 series. Regardless of the level of integration, Olympus provides full documentation and technical support. 

 Olympus also provides custom integration and optical designs for spectroscopy companies requiring stringent optical performance and data for use on FTIR and Raman based systems. The autofluoresence and transmission data are available from Olympus.

The OEM component business has become a cornerstone of our advanced research efforts and has resulted in a number of breakthroughs in spectroscopy, system automation, and non-visible imaging. One example is in the development of High Strehl Ratio objective lenses that are near perfect in wave front aberration and are essentially diffraction limited.
