===Burle Industries=== Burle Industries, as a successor to the RCA Corporation, carried the RCA photomultiplier business forward after 1986, based in the Lancaster, Pennsylvania facility. The 1986 acquisition of RCA by [[General Electric]] resulted in the [[divestiture]] of the RCA Lancaster New Products Division. Hence, 45 years after being founded by the U.S. Navy, its management team, led by Erich Burlefinger, purchased the division and in 1987 founded Burle Industries. In 2005, after eighteen years as an independent enterprise, Burle Industries and a key subsidiary were acquired by Photonis, a European holding company [[Photonis Group]]. Following the acquisition, Photonis was composed of Photonis Netherlands, Photonis France, Photonis USA, and Burle Industries. Photonis USA operates the former Galileo Corporation Scientific Detector Products Group ([[Sturbridge, Massachusetts]]), which had been purchased by Burle Industries in 1999. The group is known for [[microchannel plate detector]] (MCP) electron multipliers—an integrated micro-vacuum tube version of photomultipliers. MCPs are used for imaging and scientific applications, including [[night vision device]]s. On 9 March 2009, Photonis announced that it would cease all production of photomultipliers at both the Lancaster, Pennsylvania and the Brive, France plants.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090625052831/http://www.photonis.com/holding/news/press_release_photonis_is_announcing_the_halt_of_its_photomultiplier_activity PHOTONIS will stop its Photomultiplier activity]</ref>
