Sony plans to invest in Olympus

SONY Corp, Japan's largest consumer-electronics exporter, will invest 50 billion yen (US$645 million) in Olympus Corp as part of its strategy to move into the medical equipment business.
The two companies will form a joint venture to make endoscopes and other medical devices, according to finance ministry filings. Olympus is the world's largest endoscope maker with a 70 percent market share.

The investment will help Olympus, which admitted to a 13-year accounting fraud last year, shore up its capital ratio as it recovers from the scandal that led the company to restate earnings and replace its entire board.
