Micro-vibration isolation first became necessary in laser research laboratories. Newport Research Corporation, beginning in 1969, satisfied this need with a series of isolation legs to support optical tables in laboratory applications. These isolators were designed to provide the best transmissibility, or ratio of isolated body motion to floor motion, over the widest possible bandwidth.
