PREAMBLE

	The filing of this Schedule 13D is not, and should not be deemed to be, 
an admission that such Schedule 13D is required to be filed.  See the 
discussion under Item 2.  The Schedule 13D, dated June 7, 1994, filed by FMR 
Corp. ("FMR") with respect to the Common Stock, $0.00 par value per share (the 
"Shares") of Electro Scientific Industries, is hereby amended as set forth 
below.  The Shares to which it relates are owned by eight funds managed by 
Fidelity Management & Research Company.  A separate Schedule 13D will be filed 
by Fidelity International Limited, a Bermuda Corporation, with respect to the 
Shares.

Item 1.	Security and Issuer.

	This statement relates to shares of the Common Stock, $0.00 par value 
(the "Shares") of Electro Scientific Industries, a Oregon corporation (the 
"Company").  The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 
13900 NW Science Park Drive, Portland, OR 97229-5497.

Item 2.	Identity and Background.

	This statement is being filed by FMR Corp., a Massachusetts Corporation 
("FMR").  FMR is a holding company one of whose principal assets is the 
capital stock of a wholly-owned subsidiary, Fidelity Management & Research 
Company ("Fidelity"), which is also a Massachusetts corporation.  Fidelity is 
an investment advisor which is registered under Section 203 of the Investment 
Advisors Act of 1940 and which provides investment advisory services to more 
than 30 investment companies which are registered under Section 8 of the 
Investment Company Act of 1940 and serves as investment advisor to certain 
other funds which are generally offered to limited groups of investors (the 
"Fidelity Funds").  Various directly or indirectly held subsidiaries of FMR 
are also engaged in investment management, venture capital asset management, 
securities brokerage, transfer and shareholder servicing and real estate 
development.  The principal offices of FMR and Fidelity are located at 82 
Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109.

	Edward C. Johnson 3d owns 24.9% of the outstanding voting common stock 
of FMR.  Mr. Johnson 3d is Chairman of FMR Corp.  The business address and 
principal occupation of Mr. Johnson 3d is set forth in Schedule A hereto.

	The Shares to which this statement relates are owned directly by eight 
of the Fidelity Funds.

	The name, residence or business address, principal occupation or 
employment and citizenship of each of the executive officers and directors of 
FMR are set forth in Schedule A hereto.

	Within the past five years, none of the persons named in this Item 2 or 
listed on Schedule A has been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding 
traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or has been a party to any civil 
proceeding and as a result thereof was or is subject to any judgment, decree 
or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating 
activities subject to federal or state securities laws or finding any 
violations with respect to such laws.

Item 3.	Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

	The Fidelity Funds which own or owned Shares purchased in the aggregate 
806,000 Shares for cash in the amount of approximately $8,741,939, including 
brokerage commissions.  The Fidelity Funds used their own assets in making 
such purchase and no part of the purchase price is represented by borrowed 
funds.  Proceeds from 343,800 Shares sold aggregated approximately $4,225,750.  
The attached Schedule B sets forth Shares purchased and/or sold since May 23, 
1994.

Item 4.	Purpose of Transaction.

	The purpose of Fidelity in having the Fidelity Funds and the Accounts 
purchase Shares (see Item 5 below) is to acquire an equity interest in the 
Company in pursuit of specified investment objectives established by the Board 
of Trustees of the Fidelity Funds and by the investors in the Accounts.

	Fidelity may continue to have the Fidelity Funds and the Accounts 
purchase Shares subject to a number of factors, including, among others, the 
availability of Shares of sale at what they consider to be reasonable prices 
and other investment opportunities that may be available to the Fidelity Funds 
and Accounts.

	Fidelity intends to review continuously the equity position of the 
Fidelity Funds and Accounts in the Company.  Depending upon future evaluations 
of the business prospects of the Company and upon other developments, 
including, but not limited to, general economic and business conditions and 
money market and stock market conditions, Fidelity may determine to cease 
making additional purchases of Shares or to increase or decrease the equity 
interest in the Company by acquiring additional Shares, or by disposing of all 
or a portion of the Shares.

	Fidelity has no present plan or proposal which relates to or would 
result in (i) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, 
reorganization, liquidation, or sale of transfer of a material amount of 
assets involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) any change in 
the Company's present Board of Directors or management, (iii) any material 
changes in the Company's present capitalization or dividend policy or any 
other material change in the Company's business or corporate structure, (iv) 
any change in the Company's charter or by-laws, or (v) the Company's common 
stock becoming eligible for termination of its registration pursuant to 
Section 12(g)(4) of the 1934 Act.

Item 5.	Interest in Securities of Issuer.

	Although Item 5 assumes that FMR, and Fidelity, beneficially own all 
462,200 Shares, reference is made to Item 2 for a disclaimer of beneficial 
ownership with respect to the securities which are "beneficially owned" by the 
other corporations.

	(a)	FMR beneficially owns, through Fidelity, as investment advisor to 
the Fidelity Funds, 462,200 Shares, or approximately 7.20% of the outstanding 
Shares of the Company.  Neither FMR, Fidelity, nor any of its affiliates nor, 
to the best knowledge of FMR, any of the persons name in Schedule A hereto, 
beneficially owns any other Shares.  The combined holdings of FMR, and 
Fidelity, are 462,200 Shares, or approximately 7.20% of the outstanding Shares 
of the Company.

	(b)	FMR, through is control of Fidelity, investment advisor to the 
Fidelity Funds, and the Funds each has sole power to dispose of the Shares.  
Neither FMR nor Mr. Johnson has the sole power to vote or direct the voting of 
the 462,200 Shares owned directly by the Fidelity Funds, which power resides 
with the Funds' Boards of Trustees.  Fidelity carries out the voting of the 
Shares under written guidelines established by the Funds' Board of Trustees.  

	(c)	Except as set forth in Schedule B, neither FMR, or any of its 
affiliates, nor, to the best knowledge of FMR, any of the persons named in 
Schedule A hereto has effected any transaction in Shares during the past sixty 
(60) days.

Item 6.	Contract, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With 
Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

	Neither FMR nor any of its affiliates nor, to the best knowledge of FMR, 
any of the persons named in Schedule A hereto has any joint venture, finder's 
fee, or other contract or arrangement with any person with respect to any 
securities of the Company.



Item 7.	Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

	Not Applicable.

	This statement speaks as of its date, and no inference should be drawn 
that no change has occurred in the facts set forth herein after the date 
hereof.

Signature

	After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I 
certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and 
correct.
