Nikon is rather unique amongst the remaining well-known Japanese camera companies in that Imaging is such a dominant portion of their business. In all the other companies (Canon, Fujifilm, Olympus, Panasonic, Ricoh, Sony) cameras and lenses are well less than half of those companies businesses, in many cases not even a tenth of the overall company.
Nikon indicated in 2013 that they wished to enter the medical business in some form, and would probably use acquisitions to do so. In February 2015 they bought their first medical business acquisition, Optos.
