Shimadzu Corporation (株式会社島津製作所 Kabushiki-gaisha Shimadzu Seisakusho?) (TYO: 7701 ) is a manufacturer of precision instruments, measuring instruments and medical equipment, based in Kyoto, Japan.

The company was established by Genzo Shimadzu (島津 源蔵) in 1875. X-ray devices, the spectrum camera, the electron microscope, and the gas chromatograph were developed and commercialized in advance of other Japanese companies. In 2002, Koichi Tanaka (田中 耕一), a longstanding employee, won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for developing a method of mass spectrometric analysis of biological macromolecules. The company also developed an ultra-high speed video camera, HyperVision HPV-1, which is capable of recording at 1,000,000 FPS.[1][2]
