Teledyne e2v will continue to develop and manufacture high-specification CCD imaging sensors

     Teledyne e2v, part of the Teledyne Imaging Group, said it will continue as a long-term partner to develop, manufacture and supply CCD detectors for the high-end science market for ground-based science work in space exploration, Earth observation and microscopy, spectroscopy and astronomy.

     As a long-time supplier to the European Space Agency (ESA), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the European Southern Observatory (ESO) and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), e2v has had to work hard to ensure that it can deliver science-grade visible-light detection in environments where detectors and systems must function properly.

     Miles Adcock, President of Space and Quantum at E2v, commented: "The invention of CCD more than 50 years ago has not only led to a multi-billion dollar imaging industry each year, it has also enabled exploration of distant worlds and allowed us to better understand the scientific achievements we have today.

     At a time when other technology companies are turning to CMOS technology as CCD technology continues to evolve, Teledyne Imaging, through its European subsidiary Teledyne e2v and the Teledyne DALSA Foundry in Bromont, Canada, continues to provide mission-critical, high-quality CCD detectors. Achieve the most demanding imaging applications. In addition, the Group will continue to invest in complementary technologies such as CMOS, X-ray, spectroscopy and infrared technologies, providing a well-balanced set of business lines to meet a growing customer base in both existing and emerging markets.
