FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

     INTEGRATED MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS SUSPENDS PUBLIC OFFERING

     Beaverton, OR - June 24, 1996 - Integrated Measurement Systems 
(NASDAQ:IMSC) today announced that it has suspended the public offering to 
sell 2,525,000 shares of Common Stock.

"IN LIGHT OF THE RECENT WEAKNESS IN THE STOCK PRICES FOR COMPANIES IN THE 
HIGH TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY, WE FEEL THAT IT IS NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF OUR 
COMPANY OR OUR SHAREHOLDERS TO CONTINUE WITH THE OFFERING AT THIS TIME," said 
Keith Barnes, President and Chief Executive Officer of IMS.

IMS designs, manufactures, markets and services a family of versatile, high 
performance engineering Test Stations used to verify and characterize complex 
electronic devices. In addition, the Company develops, markets and 
supports a line of Virtual Test Software that permits design and test 
engineers to automate test program development and to conduct simulated tests 
of electronic device designs prior to the fabrication of the prototype of the 
actual device.

IMS products enable its customers to shorten time-to-market, enhance accuracy 
of design, reduce both the time required to test and the cost of testing the 
customers' devices and provide reliable and prompt feedback to both design 
and test engineers.
