(Nikon Metrology: Brighton, MI) -- Nikon Metrology’s SHUTTLEPIX Digital Microscope has been awarded the Good Design Award 2011, which is a comprehensive program for the evaluation and encouragement of design organized by the Japan Institute of Design Promotion.

This award system was originally established in 1957, from the belief that design was essential in breaking out of the cycle of poverty in Japan. Since then, the Good Design Award has been given to outstanding designs in the pursuit of industrial development. Approximately 37,000 Good Design Awards have been given in continuing these efforts.
