MELVILLE, N.Y. – Nikon Instruments, Inc. (www.nikoninstruments.com ) is pleased to announce that it has begun direct sales and technical support for Nikon’s BioScience Microscopes, Confocal Systems and Digital Imaging products in New Jersey and Puerto Rico. This area was previously served by Micron Optics.

“Nikon Instruments is extremely grateful for the superb service and support that Mr. Peter Burboeck, President of Micron Optics and his entire Micron team has provided over the past 20 years,” said Yoshinobu Ishikawa, President, Nikon Instruments. “This change has been carefully coordinated with Mr. Burboeck to facilitate a smooth and seamless transition for our loyal customer base. We look forward to continuing to provide the same quality of service directly from Nikon.

”Nikon Instruments began distribution on November 1, 2010, following the closing of Micron’s Nikon BioScience Instruments business. The former Micron Optics BioScience territory now directly serviced by Nikon consists of New Jersey and Puerto Rico. Additionally, Nikon Instruments will retain Micron’s New Jersey BioScience sales representatives to support customers’ biomedical and imaging requirements. Nikon Instruments will provide a base of operations for the new direct sales team, regional sales administration staff and customer service personnel through Nikon’s US headquarters operation located at 1300 Walt Whitman Road, Melville, NY.
