Optical Instruments Industry

Japanese: 光学器械工業 - こうがくきかいこうぎょう

An industry that manufactures equipment (cameras, telescopes, microscopes, surveying instruments, etc.) that uses optical components such as lenses, prisms, and reflectors. It is characterized by the need for special skills in the design of optical systems and the quality and processing of optical glass. It was established in Japan after World War I. Based on research conducted during the war, there was remarkable growth after World War II, especially in the field of optoelectronics. The largest sector is the camera industry.
