Veeco Instruments Inc. today announced that during the recently completed second quarter the Company received a multi-unit order for its TurboDisc K-475 As/P (arsenic phosphide) metal organic chemical vapor (MOCVD) deposition systems from Boeing Spectrolab Inc., the world's leading manufacturer of space solar cells and panels.
