Ekran Optical Systems is a Russian image intensifier tube manufacturer. In addition to image intensifiers they also produce photomultiplier tubes. They are based in Novosibirsk.  


The history of JSC "Ekran-optical systems” was started in 1954, the company was the first soviet enterprise producing components for night vision. Image Intensifier Tubes (IIT) of «0» generation and Photo Multiplier Tubes (PMT) were developed first. The company team had won the name of the leading manufacturer of Image Intensifier Tubes of «0» generation in Russia and became one of the leaders in production of the PMT, which provided products for needs of medicine, radiation dosimetry, researches, geodesy, astronavigation and space technology.

Ekran Optical Systems is a Russian image intensifier tube manufacturer. In addition to image intensifiers they also produce photomultiplier tubes. They are based in Novosibirsk.

History

JSC Ekran Optical Systems was founded in 1954, as the first large scale Soviet enterprise producing components for night vision. While experimental tube manufacturing within the USSR existed before Ekran, they were the first to mass produce image tubes.

It's initial line of products consisted of Gen. 0 image intensifier tubes (such as the V1P) and photomultiplier tubes (like the FEU-110).

Today, Ekran produces Gen. 2+ image intensifiers. If they are still manufacturing generation-0/0+ tubes and photomultipliers is unclear.[1]
