About ClearOptics

Company Profile

ClearOptics B.V. was founded on January 28, 2022. A young company with over 100 years of experience in microscopy. How is that possible?

Olympus* Scientific Solutions Division (SSD) has decided to outsource its service activities in Europe to external companies. After this decision, we, four Dutch engineers, offered to take over the work at Olympus Europe.
The European board of Olympus* knows the qualities of the Dutch team and has therefore responded positively to this offer.
From April 1, 2022, ClearOptics BV will be responsible for service activities throughout the Benelux.

ClearOptrics is the exclusive service partner of Olympus* SSD and carries out preventive maintenance and repairs for the Olympus microscopes.
We also install newly sold systems and carry out inspections on Industrial Olympus Video Endoscopes.

*) As of April 1, 2022, the name of Olympus Europe SSD has been changed to Evident Europe SSD.
