Best Answer

Nikon is a Japanese company. Its produces digital cameras, binoculars, microphones and the some equipment which are used in the photolithography steps.

I am listening to a Soundstrue.com audio program about gratitude by Angeles Arrien. She said there is a practice tradition of Nikon, about how to have a relationship acknowledging gratitude, being thankful. so I am looking up the word as it pertains to this, but having trouble googling past the camera company name. But this may be how the name came about, in their desire to have gratitude be the basis of their company. However, perhaps her term is Nikkon. ??

The name Nikon, which dates from 1946, is a merging of Nippon Kogaku meaning Japan Optical, and an imitation of Zeiss Ikon.
