Security and Issuer. This Schedule 13D relates to the units (the "Units") issued by ThermoLase Corporation (the "Issuer"), each Unit consisting of one share of the Issuer's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), and one redemption right. The Issuer's principal executive offices are located at 2055-C Luna Road, Carrollton, Texas 75006. Item 2. Identity and Background This Schedule 13D is being filed by Thermo Electron Corporation (the "Reporting Person"). The Reporting Person has previously reported its ownership of the Units on the Schedule 13D it has filed relating to its ownership of the Common Stock. The Reporting Person now has elected to report its ownership of Units on a separate Schedule 13D. The Reporting Person develops, manufactures and markets analytical and monitoring instruments; biomedical products including heart-assist devices, respiratory-care equipment, and mammography systems; and paper recycling and papermaking equipment. The Reporting Person also develops alternative-energy systems and clean fuels, provides a range of services including industrial outsourcing and environmental-liability management, and conducts research and development in advanced imaging, laser communications, and electronic information-management technologies. The principal business address and principal office address of the Reporting Person, a Delaware corporation, is 81 Wyman Street, Waltham, Massachusetts 02454-9046. Appendix A attached to this Schedule 13D sets forth with respect to each executive officer and director of the Reporting Person 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 Person, there is no person who may be deemed to be a controlling person of the Reporting Person. During the last five years, neither the Reporting Person nor (to the knowledge of the Reporting Person) any executive officer or director of the Reporting Person has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and similar misdemeanors). During the last five years, neither the Reporting Person nor (to the knowledge of the Reporting Person) any executive officer or director of the Reporting Person has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction which resulted in a judgement, 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 Person has expended approximately $2,814,000 in purchasing Units since the date of issuance of the Units. These funds were paid out of the Reporting Person's working capital. Any funds necessary for the proposed transactions described in Item 4 will be paid out of the Reporting Person's working capital. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction The Reporting Person has decided to make purchases of the Issuer's Units in open market transactions, from the Issuer or otherwise, in order to increase its ownership of the Issuer's stock to at least 80% both by vote and by value. The Reporting Person's purpose in doing so is to be able to file consolidated federal income tax returns with the Issuer. The Reporting Person currently owns more than 80% of the Issuer's stock by vote, since it owns more than 80% of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock. The Units and the Common Stock would be aggregated for purposes of these 80% tests. On that basis, the Reporting Person does not yet own more than 80% of the Issuer's stock by value. In addition, the Reporting Person may make purchases of the Issuer's Units in open market transactions, from the Issuer or otherwise, for other purposes. In determining whether to make such purchases for other purposes, the Reporting Person will consider various relevant factors, including its 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 Person 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 Item 6, neither the Reporting Person nor, to the Reporting Person's knowledge, any of the executive officers or directors of the Reporting Person has any current plans or proposals that 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 Person 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. (a) The Issuer beneficially owns 181,100 Units, or approximately 9.1% of the outstanding Units. To the knowledge of the Reporting Person, Mr. Robert A. McCabe, a director of the Reporting Person, is the sole executive officer or director of the Reporting Person who beneficially owns Units. Mr. McCabe owns 831 Units, or approximately 0.04% of the outstanding Units. Beneficial ownership of the Common Stock by the executive officers and directors of the Reporting Person is reported separately in Schedule 13D filings by the Reporting Person relating to its ownership of the Common Stock. While certain directors and executive officers of the Reporting Person are also directors and officers of the Issuer, all such persons disclaim beneficial ownership of the Units owned by the Reporting Person. (b) The Reporting Person and the executive officers and directors of the Reporting Person have the sole power to vote and dispose of the Units each such person owns. (c) The Reporting Person has effected the following transactions with respect to the Units during the past 60 days: Date Amount Price Per Transfer Type Unit ($) 03/16/99 30,000 16.25 Open Market Purchase 03/23/99 15,000 16.75 Open Market Purchase To the knowledge of the Reporting Person, the executive officers and directors of the Reporting Person have effected no transactions in the Units in the past 60 days. (d) Not applicable. (e) Not applicable. Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with respect to Securities of the Issuer. The Reporting Person beneficially owns 32,260,013 shares of Common Stock. Of these shares, (i) 473,109 shares are issuable to the Reporting Person if it elects to convert in full its convertible subordinated debentures of the Issuer and (ii) 183,575 shares are subject to options to acquire such shares granted by the Reporting Person pursuant to its director and employee stock option plans. The executive officers and directors of the Reporting Person have the right, pursuant to such options, to acquire 92,908 shares. In addition, the following executive officers and directors of the Reporting Person have the right to acquire shares from the Issuer pursuant to the Issuer's director and employee stock option plans: Dr. Gyftopoulos has the right to acquire 61,400 shares within 60 days; Dr. G. Hatsopoulos has the right to acquire 28,800 shares within 60 days; Mr. J.
