This video was likely shown to new hires or at recruitment events for Perkin-Elmer in the late 1980s. The video highlights the accomplishments of the company, including its technology being used to fight air and water pollution, producing the mirror in NASA's Hubble telescope, and its involvement in the rapidly expanding field of biotechnology.

Several employees appear: Dr. David P. Brinkley (Director, Computer Aided Chemistry); Donna Marie Vandergrift (Assistant Product Manager, Biotechnology); Paul D. Siomkos (Director of Operations, METCO Division); Terry A. Facey (Chief Scientist, Hubble Space Telescope); Noreen Harned (Manager, Optical Systems Engineering); John W.
