                            PART I

Item 1.                           BUSINESS

     (a) General Development of Business.

      The  Perkin-Elmer Corporation was incorporated  in  1939
under  the laws of the State of New York.  Together  with  its
consolidated   subsidiaries,  The   Perkin-Elmer   Corporation
(hereinafter collectively referred to as "Registrant"  or  the
"Corporation") develops, manufactures, and sells  products  in
the industry segment described in sub-item (c) below.

      On February 18, 1993, the shareholders of Registrant and
Applied  Biosystems,  Inc. ("ABI"), a  supplier  of  automated
systems  for  life science research and related  applications,
approved  the  merger of a subsidiary of Registrant  with  and
into  ABI  which  resulted  in  ABI  becoming  a  wholly-owned
subsidiary  of  Registrant.  Effective July 1, 1994,  ABI  was
merged  into  Registrant  and is now  the  Applied  Biosystems
division of Registrant.

      On  July 29, 1993, Registrant announced plans to  divest
its  Material  Sciences segment which consists  of  its  Metco
Division  ("Metco") headquartered in Westbury, New  York.   On
April  18,  1994,  Registrant entered into an  agreement  with
Sulzer Inc. to sell Metco.  Registrant expects to complete the
sale in calendar year 1994.

      The  consolidated  financial  statements  and  schedules
reflect  the  merger with ABI as a pooling  of  interests  and
present  the  Corporation's Material  Sciences  segment  as  a
discontinued operation.

     On May 18, 1993, Registrant amended its By-laws to change
Registrant's fiscal year end from July 31 to June  30.   Prior
to   fiscal  1993,  the  financial  statements  of   ABI   and
Registrant's subsidiaries outside the United States  were  for
fiscal  years  ended  June  30,  while  Registrant's  domestic
operations reported on a July 31 fiscal year end.

     In fiscal year 1990 Registrant divested the net assets of
what   had   been   its   Semiconductor   Equipment,   Avionic
Instrumentation, and Electro-Optical segments.


     (b) Financial Information About Industry Segments.

     Registrant  is engaged in one business segment  which  is
generally  described as analytical instruments.   Accordingly,
separate segment financial information is not provided.

                                     - 1 -


(c) Narrative Description of Business.


BUSINESS

      Registrant develops, manufactures, markets,  sells,  and
services  analytical  instrument systems.   Included  in  this
industry   segment   are  biochemical  analytical   instrument
systems,  consisting of instruments and associated  consumable
products,  for life science research and related applications.
These automated systems are used for synthesis, amplification,
purification,  isolation, analysis and sequencing  of  nucleic
acids,   proteins,  and  other  biological  molecules.    This
industry  segment also includes analytical instrument  systems
for  determining  the composition and molecular  structure  of
chemical substances (both organic and inorganic) and measuring
the concentration of materials in a sample.  These instruments
include:   spectrophotometers utilizing a number of analytical
techniques; gas and liquid chromatographs; thermal  analyzers;
thermal   cyclers;  analytical  balances;  flame  photometers;
polarimeters;  data-handling  devices  that  are   principally
designed for use with analytical instruments; and data systems
for applications in analytical chemistry.  In a joint venture,
Perkin-Elmer Sciex Instruments, Registrant is engaged  in  the
manufacture and sale of mass spectrometry instrument  systems.
Registrant also develops, manufactures, markets, and  services
on-line,  real  time,  process  analysis  systems  to  monitor
process quality and environmental purity.

      Registrant's  instruments are used by private  industry,
educational   and  research  institutions,  and   governmental
entities   for   fundamental  research,   applied   industrial
research, quality control, medical research, hospital clinical
testing,   pollution   analysis,  drug   identification,   and
forensics.

MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION

      In  the  United States, Registrant markets  the  largest
portion  of  its products directly through its own  sales  and
distribution   organization,   although   certain   analytical
instruments are marketed through independent distributors  and
sales representatives.  Sales to major markets outside of  the
United   States   are   generally  made   by   foreign   sales
subsidiaries, although some sales are made directly  from  the
United  States  to  foreign customers.  In  foreign  countries
where sales potential does not warrant the establishment of  a
sales    subsidiary,   sales   are   made   through    various
representative  and distributorship arrangements.   Registrant
owns or leases sales and service offices in strategic regional
locations  in  the  United States, and  in  foreign  countries
through   its  foreign  sales  subsidiaries  and  distribution
operations.   None  of  Registrant's products  is  distributed
through retail outlets.

RAW MATERIALS

       There  are  no  specialized  raw  materials  that   are
particularly   essential  to  the  operation  of  Registrant's
business.   Registrant's manufacturing  operations  require  a
wide  variety  of  raw  materials, electronic  and  mechanical
components,  chemical  and biochemical  materials,  and  other
supplies, some of which are occasionally found to be in  short
supply.   Registrant has multiple commercial sources for  most
components and supplies but is dependent on single sources for
a  limited  number  of  such items, in which  case  Registrant
normally secures long term supply contracts.

PATENTS, LICENSES, AND FRANCHISES

      Registrant has pursued a policy of seeking patent protection
in the  United States  and  other  countries  for developments,
improvements, and inventions originating within its organization


                                     - 2 -


which  are  incorporated  in  Registrant's
products or which fall within its fields of interest.  Certain
licenses  under  patents have been granted  to,  and  received
from,  other  entities.  Registrant is licensed by Hoffmann-La
Roche Inc. under patents relating to polymerase chain reaction
technology  ("PCR"), which patents expire July 28,  2004.   In
Registrant's  opinion,  however, no  other  single  patent  or
license, or group of patents or licenses, or any franchise, is
material to its business as a whole.

      From  time to time, Registrant has asserted that various
competitors and others are infringing Registrant's patents and
similarly,  from  time  to  time, others  have  asserted  that
Registrant  was infringing patents owned by them.   Generally,
such  claims are settled by mutual agreement on a satisfactory
basis  and  have  resulted  in the  granting  of  licenses  by
Registrant or the granting of licenses to Registrant.

SEASONAL FLUCTUATIONS

      Registrant's  business  is  not  subject  to  pronounced
seasonal fluctuations.

BACKLOG

      Registrant's  recorded  backlog was  approximately  $155
million at June 30, 1994 and 1993.  With respect to commercial
products,  it  is Registrant's general policy  to  include  in
backlog only purchase orders or production releases which have
firm delivery dates within one year.  Recorded backlog may not
result in sales because of cancellation or other factors.   It
is anticipated that all orders included in the current backlog
will be delivered before the close of fiscal year 1995.

UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT SALES

      No  material portion of Registrant's business is subject
to  renegotiation of profits or termination  of  contracts  or
subcontracts at the election of the United States Government.

COMPETITION

      The  industry  segment in which Registrant  operates  is
highly competitive and is characterized by the application  of
advanced  technology.   There  are  numerous  companies  which
specialize in, and a number of larger companies which devote a
significant  portion of their resources to,  the  development,
manufacture,  and  sale of products which compete  with  those
manufactured  or  sold  by Registrant.  Many  of  Registrant's
competitors are well-known manufacturers with a high degree of
technical   proficiency.    In   addition,   competition    is
intensified by the ever-changing nature of the technologies in
the  industry in which Registrant is engaged.  The markets for
Registrant's   products  are  characterized   by   specialized
manufacturers that often have strength in narrow  segments  of
these markets.  While the absence of reliable statistics makes
it   difficult  to  determine  Registrant's  relative   market
position,  Registrant is confident it is one of the  principal
manufacturers  in  its  field,  marketing  a  broad  line   of
analytical instruments and life science systems.  In  addition
to  competing  in  terms  of  the technology  that  Registrant
offers,  Registrant competes in terms of price,  service,  and
quality.

RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, AND ENGINEERING

      Registrant  is  actively engaged in  basic  and  applied
research,  development, and engineering programs  designed  to
develop new products and to improve existing products.  During
fiscal   years   1994,  1993,  and  1992,   Registrant   spent
approximately  $94  million, $84  million,  and  $81  million,
respectively, on company sponsored research, development,  and
engineering activities.

                                     - 3 -


ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

      Registrant is subject to federal, state, and local  laws
and regulations regulating the discharge of materials into the
environment,  or otherwise relating to the protection  of  the
environment, in those jurisdictions where Registrant  operates
or  maintains  facilities.  Registrant does not  believe  that
compliance  with  all  environmental provisions  will  have  a
material  effect  on  its business, and  no  material  capital
expenditures are expected for environmental control.

EMPLOYEES

      As  of  June 30, 1994, Registrant employed 5,954 persons
worldwide.   None of Registrant's United States  employees  is
subject to collective bargaining agreements.

      (d)  Financial  Information About Foreign  and  Domestic
Operations and Export Sales.

      A  summary  of  net revenues to unaffiliated  customers,
operating income, and identifiable assets attributable to each
of  Registrant's  geographic areas and export  sales  for  the
fiscal  years  1994, 1993, and 1992 is incorporated herein  by
reference  to  Note 6 on Pages 38-40 of the Annual  Report  to
Shareholders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994.

      Registrant's  consolidated net revenues to  unaffiliated
customers  in countries other than the United States  for  the
fiscal  years  1994,  1993, and 1992 were  approximately  $607
million, $607 million, and $558 million, or approximately 59%,
60%,  and 58%, respectively, of Registrant's consolidated  net
revenues.

      All of the Registrant's manufacturing facilities outside
of  the continental United States are located in Germany,  the
United  Kingdom, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico,  Japan,  and
the  Peoples  Republic  of  China.   There  are  currently  no
material  foreign  exchange controls  or  similar  limitations
restricting the repatriation to the United States  of  capital
or earnings from operations outside the United States.

     (e)  Discontinued Operations


     On  July  29,  1993, Registrant announced  its  plans  to
divest  Metco  headquartered in  Westbury,  New  York.   Metco
produces  combustion,  electric arc and plasma  thermal  spray
equipment  and  supplies.   Registrant  has  entered  into  an
agreement  with  Sulzer  Inc., a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of
Sulzer  Ltd., Winterthur, Switzerland for the sale  of  Metco.
The  completion of the sale is subject to closing  conditions,
including  obtaining relevant government regulatory approvals.
The transaction has taken longer to complete than expected due
primarily to obtaining necessary government approvals in  both
the  U.S.  and  Europe.   As a result  of  this  and  negative
operating  factors, Registrant recorded an after-tax  loss  on
disposal  of $7.7 million during the fourth quarter of  fiscal
year 1994.

     On  October 5, 1992, prior to its merger with Registrant,
ABI  announced the decision to distribute to its  shareholders
approximately  82%  of  the  stock  of  its  subsidiary,  Lynx
Therapeutics,   Inc.   ("Lynx"),  the   successor   to   ABI's
therapeutics division.  The financial statements  reflect  the
Lynx  operating results as a discontinued operation.  The  net
assets of Lynx were not significant.

Item 3.                    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

      The Corporation has been named as a defendant in several
legal  actions arising from the conduct of its normal business
activities.  Although the amount of any liability  that  might
arise  with  respect  to  any  of  these  matters  cannot   be
accurately  predicted, the resulting liability, if  any,  will
not in the opinion of management of Registrant have a material
adverse effect on the financial statements of Registrant.   In
addition,  although no legal claim was filed, the  Corporation
participated  in the United States government's  investigation
of  the Hubble Space Telescope.  Registrant settled all of the
government's  potential claims with regard to this  matter  on
October 4, 1993, for $15 million.

     Registrant  is  one  of  approximately  125  third  party
defendants named in United States of America v. Davis  et  al.
which  is pending in the United States District Court for  the
District  of  Rhode Island.  The third party  plaintiffs,  who
were  named as defendants and potentially responsible  parties
in   the   Government's  initial  complaint,  seek   equitable
contribution and indemnification in the event they  are  found
liable  for  remediation  costs relating  to  the  removal  of
hazardous substances from a site located in Smithfield,  Rhode
Island  (initially  estimated by the Government  to  be  $27.8
million  but most recently estimated to be $77.5 million).   A
trial on the question of the third party plaintiffs' liability
to  the  Government  has been held, but no decision  has  been
rendered.   Until the liability of the third party  plaintiffs
has  been established, the court will not consider the  amount
of  any  such  liability or the validity of  any  third  party
claims.  While the Registrant contends that it should have  no
liability  in  this  case, because of the uncertainty  of  all
litigation,  it cannot definitively state that it  will  incur
less than $100,000 in monetary sanctions.

Item 4.             SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF
                       SECURITY HOLDERS

      No  matter was submitted to a vote of security  holders,
through  the solicitation of proxies or otherwise, during  the
fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report.

                            PART II

Item 5.                 MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY
                           AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

     (a) Market Information.

      The  principal  United States market where  Registrant's
Common  Stock  is  traded  is the  New  York  Stock  Exchange,
although  such  stock  is also traded  on  the  Pacific  Stock
Exchange.

      The following information, which appears in Registrant's
Annual  Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended  June
30, 1994, is hereby incorporated by reference in this Form 10-
K:  the high and low sales prices of Registrant's Common Stock
for  each  quarterly period during the fiscal years  1994  and
1993 (Note 14, Page 43 of the Annual Report to Shareholders).

     (b) Holders.

      On  September 6, 1994, the approximate number of holders
of  Common  Stock  of Registrant was 8,975.   The  approximate
number  of  record holders is based upon the actual number  of
holders registered in the books of Registrant at such date and
does  not  include  holders  of shares  in  "street  name"  or
persons,  partnerships, associations, corporations,  or  other
entities  identified in security position listings  maintained
by  depositary trust companies.  Note:  the calculation of the
number  of  shares of Registrant's Common Stock held  by  non-
affiliates  shown on the cover of this Form 10-K was  made  on
the  assumption  that  there were  no  affiliates  other  than
executive officers and directors.

     (c) Dividends.

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS ON
                   FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES

To the Board of Directors
of The Perkin-Elmer Corporation

      Our  audits of the consolidated financial statements referred
to  in our report dated July 28, 1994, appearing on Page 45 of  the
1994  Annual Report to Shareholders of The Perkin-Elmer Corporation
(which   report   and   consolidated   financial   statements   are
incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on Form 10-K)  also
included  an audit of the Financial Statement Schedules  listed  in
Item  14(a)2  of  this Form 10-K.  We did not audit  the  Financial
Statement  Schedules of Applied Biosystems, Inc.,  a  wholly  owned
subsidiary,  as  of and for the year ended July  31,  1992.   Those
schedules were audited by other auditors, whose report thereon  has
been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein, insofar  as
it relates to the amounts included for Applied Biosystems, Inc., is
based  solely  on  the report of other auditors.   Based  upon  our
audits  and the report of other auditors, these Financial Statement
Schedules present fairly, in all material respects, the information
set  forth  therein  when  read  in conjunction  with  the  related
consolidated financial statements.

         (a)       Commercial  Paper  refers  to   unsecured   debt
obligations maturing in fixed periods that range       from  30  to
180  days;  interest at fixed rates is payable on  maturity.   Bank
Borrowings are           unsecured debt obligations including those
due on demand, as well as those with fixed terms.      With respect
to  some Bank Borrowings, interest rates are fixed; in other cases,
interest floats in  accordance with a prescribed index.

       (b)     The average amount outstanding during the period was
determined on the basis of average      month-end balances of  Bank
Borrowings   and  average  daily  balances  for  Commercial   Paper
borrowings.

        (c)      For  Bank  Borrowings and  Commercial  Paper,  the
weighted average interest rate during the    period was computed by
dividing the interest expense for the year by the average amount of
short-term borrowings outstanding during the period.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Shareholders and Board of Directors
     of Applied Biosystems, Inc.:


We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Applied
Biosystems, Inc. as of June 30, 1992, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity
and cash flows for the fiscal year then ended (not presented
separately herein).  Our audit also included the financial
statement schedules (not presented separately herein).  
These financial statements and financial statement schedules 
are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial statement schedules based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides
a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Applied Biosystems, Inc. at June 30, 1992, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
fiscal year then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.  Also, in our opinion, such financial
statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present
fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth
therein.

As discussed in Note 13, the consolidated statement of
operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1992 has been
reclassified to present the Company's subsidiary, Lynx
Therapeutics, Inc., as a discontinued operation.
