Pursuant to Rule 13d-2(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
this Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D amends and restates the entire text of
the Schedule 13D previously filed by Thermo Instrument Systems Inc.
relating to shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of
ThermoSpectra Corporation.
Item 1. Security and Issuer.
This Amendment relates to the shares (the "Shares") of common stock,
par value $.01 per share, of ThermoSpectra Corporation (the "Issuer"). The
Issuer's principal executive offices are located at 81 Wyman Street,
Waltham, Massachusetts 02254-9046.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
This Amendment is being filed by Thermo Electron Corporation ("Thermo
Electron") and its subsidiary Thermo Instrument Systems Inc. ("Thermo
Instrument" and, together with Thermo Electron, the "Reporting Persons").
The Reporting Persons are filing this Amendment pursuant to Rule 13d-2 to
reflect an increase in the Reporting Persons' holdings of the Issuer's
Shares since the Reporting Persons' last filing on Schedule 13D, in
February 1996, of more than one percent.
Thermo Electron develops, manufactures and markets environmental,
analytical and process control instruments, cogeneration and
alternative-energy power plants, low-emission combustion systems, paper and
waste-recycling equipment, and biomedical products. Thermo Electron also
provides a range of services including environmental remediation and
consulting, laboratory analysis, and metals fabrication and processing, as
well as research and product development in unconventional imaging,
adaptive optics, and direct energy conversion.
Thermo Instrument develops, manufactures and markets instruments used
to detect and measure air pollution, radioactivity, complex chemical
compounds, toxic metals, and other elements in a broad range of liquids and
solids as well as to control and monitor various industrial processes.
The principal business address and principal office address of Thermo
Electron is 81 Wyman Street, Waltham, Massachusetts 02254-9046. The
principal business address and principal office address of Thermo
Instrument is 1275 Hammerwood Avenue, Sunnyvale, California 94089. The
Reporting Persons are both Delaware corporations.
Appendix A attached to this Schedule 13D sets forth with respect to
each executive officer and director of the Reporting Persons his or her (a)
name; (b) residence or business address; (c) present principal occupation
or employment and the name, principal business and address of any
corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted;
and (d) citizenship. To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, there is
no person who may be deemed to be a controlling person of the Reporting
Persons (except that Thermo Electron may be deemed to control Thermo
Instrument by virtue of its majority ownership).
PAGE
<PAGE>
During the last five years, neither the Reporting Persons nor (to the
knowledge of the Reporting Persons) any executive officer or director of
the Reporting Persons has been convicted in a criminal proceeding
(excluding traffic violations and similar misdemeanors).
During the last five years, neither the Reporting Persons nor (to the
knowledge of the Reporting Persons) any executive officer or director of
the Reporting Persons has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial
or administrative body of competent jurisdiction which resulted in a
judgment, decree or final order (i) enjoining future violations of, or
prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities
laws or (ii) finding a violation with respect to such laws.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
The Reporting Persons have expended approximately $8,460,100 in
purchasing securities of the Issuer since the date of their last filing on
Schedule 13D. These funds were paid out of the Reporting Persons' working
capital.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Thermo Instrument may make purchases of Shares or other securities of
the Issuer in such manner and in such amounts as it determines to be
appropriate in order to maintain at least 50% ownership of the Issuer. The
Reporting Persons may also make additional purchases of Shares or other
securities of the Issuer in such manner and in such amounts as they
determine to be appropriate for other purposes. In determining whether to
do so for other purposes, the Reporting Persons will consider various
relevant factors, including their evaluation of the Issuer's business,
prospects and financial condition, amounts and prices of available
securities of the Issuer, the market for the Issuer's securities, other
opportunities available to the Reporting Persons and general market and
economic conditions. Purchases may be made either on the open market or
directly from the Issuer.
Except as set forth in this Item 4 and in Item 6, neither of the
Reporting Persons nor, to the Reporting Persons' knowledge, any of the
executive officers or directors of the Reporting Persons has any current
plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the actions
specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, although
the Reporting Persons and such other persons do not rule out the
possibility of effecting or seeking to effect any such actions in the
future.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

disclaim beneficial ownership of the Shares owned by the Reporting Persons.

such Shares, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein arising
from his general and limited partnership interests in Venrock Associates.
Thermo Electron presently owns more than 50% of the outstanding common

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with
respect to Securities of the Issuer.
Of the 8,998,836 Shares beneficially owned by Thermo Instrument,
108,610 Shares are subject to options to acquire such Shares granted by
Thermo Instrument pursuant to its director and employee stock option plans.
Of the 577,153 Shares beneficially owned by Thermo Electron, 19,250 Shares
are subject to options to acquire such Shares granted by Thermo Electron
pursuant to its director and employee stock option plans. The executive
officers and directors of the Reporting Persons have the right, pursuant to
such options, to acquire 29,500 Shares. In addition, the following
officers and directors of the Reporting Persons have the right to acquire
shares from the Issuer pursuant to the Issuer's director and employee stock
option plans: Dr. George N. Hatsopoulos has the right to acquire 20,000
Shares within 60 days; Mr. John N. Hatsopoulos has the right to acquire
20,000 Shares within 60 days; Mr. Earl R. Lewis has the right to acquire
50,000 Shares within 60 days; Mr. Arvin H. Smith has the right to acquire

right to acquire 10,000 Shares within 60 days; and Mr. Paul F. Kelleher has
the right to acquire 5,000 Shares within 60 days.
During 1996, the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors
of the Issuer (the "Committee") established a stock holding policy for
executive officers of the Issuer. The stock holding policy specifies an
appropriate level of ownership of the Issuer's Common Stock as a multiple
of the officer's compensation. For the chief executive officer, the
multiple is one times his base salary and reference bonus for the calendar
year. For all other officers, the multiple is one times the officer's base
salary.
In order to assist officers in complying with the policy, the
Committee also adopted a stock holding assistance plan under which the
Issuer is authorized to make interest-free loans to officers to enable them
to purchase shares of the Common Stock in the open market. The loans are
PAGE
<PAGE>
required to be repaid upon the earlier of demand or the fifth anniversary
of the date of the loan, unless otherwise authorized by the Committee.
The Committee also adopted a policy requiring its executive officers
to hold shares of the Issuer's Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of
stock options granted by the Issuer. Under this policy, executive officers
are required to hold one-half of their net option exercises over a period
of five years. The net option exercise is determined by calculating the
number of shares acquired upon exercise of a stock option, after deducting
the number of shares that could have been traded to exercise the option and
the number of shares that could have been surrendered to satisfy tax
withholding obligations attributable to the exercise of the options.
During 1996, the Committee also established a stock holding policy for
directors, including persons who are also directors or executive officers
of the Reporting Persons (Elias P. Gyftopoulos, Earl R. Lewis and Arvin H.
Smith). The stock holding policy requires each director to hold a minimum
of 1,000 shares of Common Stock.
In addition, the Committee adopted a policy requiring directors to
hold shares of the Issuer's Common Stock equal to one-half of their net
option exercises over a period of five years. The net option exercise is
determined by calculating the number of shares acquired upon exercise of a
stock option, after deducting the number of shares that could have been
traded to exercise the option and the number of shares that could have been
surrendered to satisfy tax withholding obligations attributable to the
exercise of the option.
