Olympus to Acquire Quest Photonic Devices

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Olympus Corp. is acquiring Quest Photonic Devices BV, a developer of multispectral imaging solutions serving medical markets. The deal is worth up to approximately $60.7 million (€50 million).

Olympus, in a press release, said the planned acquisition enhances its surgical endoscopy market presence. Quest offers advanced fluorescence imaging systems for the medical field, enabling more surgical endoscopy capabilities compared to conventional imaging technologies.

Fluorescence imaging refers to special light imaging technologies that use the properties of fluorescent dyes directed to specific anatomical structures. When targeted dyes combine with specific light wavelengths, lesions that are nearly invisible under normal white light become visible.

Glossary
multispectral imaging
Multispectral imaging is a technique that involves capturing and analyzing images at multiple discrete spectral bands within the electromagnetic spectrum. Unlike hyperspectral imaging, which acquires data across a continuous range of wavelengths, multispectral imaging is characterized by capturing information at several specific, predefined bands. This allows for the extraction of spectral signatures and information from different parts of the spectrum. Key aspects of multispectral imaging...
