Tektronix and SITe are posted together because one transformed into the other carrying along the existing fab, products and people. Tektronix (yes, the oscilloscope company) originally worked in CCDs to produce a delay line use to convert a fast data stream into a slower one for an oscilloscope designed to capture high-speed transients. Tek decided to use its CCD technology to make large sensors for astronomy and medicine. Making imaging devices was an odd business for them so they sold it to an investment company which, in October 1993, formed Scientific Imaging Technologies. SITe supplied big CCDs into the early 2000s.
