ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.
This Amendment No. 1 amends the Statement on Schedule 13D filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on May 15, 2000 by Seagate Technology, Inc.,
a Delaware company ("Seagate") with respect to the Common Stock, par value $0.01
per share, of Veeco Instruments, Inc. ("Veeco Common Stock"), a Delaware
corporation ("Veeco" or "Issuer"). The principal executive offices of Veeco are
located at Terminal Drive, Plainview, New York 11803.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
In a series of open-market transactions from August 7, 2000 through August
18, 2000, Seagate sold 1,384,200 shares of Veeco's Common Stock, reducing
Seagate's beneficial ownership to 0%.
The transactions reported in this Amendment No. 1 reduce Seagate's
beneficial ownership to less than 5% of the outstanding shares of Veeco Common
Stock. Therefore, Seagate has no further reporting requirements on a Statement
on Schedule 13D with respect to Veeco.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
Item 5 is hereby amended as follows:
(a) - (b) Seagate beneficially owns no shares of Veeco Common Stock.

August 7, 2000 to August 18, 2000.
(e) Seagate ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Common
Stock of Veeco on August 18, 2000.
