e2v

e2v, or e2v technologies, is a British imaging solutions company that designs and manufactures high-performance imaging sensors, detectors, and related electronics for scientific, industrial, and security applications. Its product portfolio includes CCD and CMOS image sensors, X-ray detectors, camera subsystems, and associated readout and packaging electronics. The company serves customers in research, space, healthcare, industry, and security markets and emphasizes high sensitivity, fast readout, and radiation-tolerant performance for harsh environments.

Historically, e2v grew as a European supplier of imaging solutions for advanced scientific and industrial instruments. Its offerings have supported a range of applications, including astronomy, particle physics, space instrumentation, medical imaging, and nondestructive testing. The design and manufacture of detectors often involve specialized processes such as radiation-hardened designs, vacuum packaging, and custom readout electronics to meet stringent performance requirements.

In 2017, Teledyne Technologies completed the acquisition of e2v, integrating its imaging sensor capabilities into Teledyne’s broader portfolio. Since the acquisition, the e2v brand has continued to appear in certain markets as Teledyne e2v, while the underlying technology has complemented Teledyne’s global imaging and detector businesses. The combined entity reinforces capabilities in high-performance sensors for scientific research, space missions, and industrial imaging.
