日本分光公司JASCO 
日本分光公司JASCO成立于1958年初，由当时任教于东京教育大学（即现在的筑波大学）的藤冈教授领导的光电研究小组所创立，创始成员包括世界著名的物理学家藤冈教授（Yoshio Fujioka）及诺贝尔奖得主朝永振一郎（Shinhichiri Tomonaga）。

日本分光公司自1958年成立之初推出了日本第一台红外光谱仪以来，四十多年来一直秉持创立时所坚持的“技术领先”理念，以专业化的光学分析仪器设计及制造能力，致力于研究开发尖端品质的光学分析仪器，进而陆续推出园二色光谱仪（1961年）、激光拉曼光谱仪（1970年）、紫外分光光度计（1971年）、荧光光谱仪（1972年）、液相色谱仪（1975年）、傅立叶变换红外光谱仪（1982年）、园二色检测器（1998年）、近场红外光谱仪（2001年）等一系列精密分析仪器。

日本分光公司的产品早于1994年通过国际品质标准 ISO-9001 认证及欧洲的CE标准，现公司的产品不仅在品质上追求精益求精，同时产品种类也不断增加。日本分光公司四十多年来业务不断扩充，已分别在美国、英国、德国、法国、意大利、匈牙利、印度、韩国等十几个国家和地区设有分公司或办事处，并于1995年特别在大连设立联络办事处（华洋科仪公司），并根据市场需求的不断发展先后在北京和上海成立了分公司，直接为中国地区众多的客户做好各项服务工作。

JASCO Corporation was founded in 1958 to provide the scientific community with optical spectroscopy products.

In the mid-1950's a group of researchers in the Institute of Optics of what is now Tsukuba University needed an Infrared Spectrophotometer for their research. Since a commercially available instrument was not yet available at the time, they undertook the challenge to develop their own. The result was quite a success - a reliable instrument with excellent optical performance.

As a second result, other research groups asked them to replicate the instrument for use within their laboratories. With the increased demand for more instruments JASCO Corporation was founded in 1958 in order to provide the scientific community with optical spectroscopy products. Founding members included World famous physicist Yoshio Fujioka and Nobel Prize winner Shinichiro Tomonaga.

Over the last 50 years JASCO Corporation has continued to attain the highest standards in terms of optical performance, ease of use, and reliability. JASCO has grown to become a strong global company with sales and support worldwide. JASCO Incorporated was founded in Maryland in 1972 to handle operations throughout the Western Hemisphere.

Over the years the JASCO product line has grown to cover instruments used, not only in research but also for routine analysis applications in areas such as quality control, environmental analysis, and process control. The current spectroscopy product line encompasses instrumentation for the following methods:

UV/Visible and Near Infrared Spectrophotometers
Fluorescence Spectrophotometers
Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometers (FTIR)
FT-Raman Spectrophotometers
Dispersive Raman Spectrometers and Raman Microprobes
Circular Dichroism Spectrometers
Polarimeters Near Field Optical Micro-Spectrometers
Ellipsometers
