High-resolution microscopy offers researchers and clinicians a powerful analytical tool to help uncover a variety of biological phenomena and processes. However, instruments of this type require a stable environment in order to function at their peak of accuracy and precision. With the ever-increasing demand to prepare, examine, and then record with more accuracy and precision (via photo or electron-micrography) specimens to study micron and sub-micron structural features, vibration isolation of an experimental set up becomes all the more necessary.
The challenge of designing an appropriate vibration isolation system is formidable because a good vibration isolation system has to provide high-performance resistance to vibrations (which usually requires large free standing isolators), yet still keep a compact low profile for it's users in order to minimize space requirements and maximize equipment accessibility. Newport accomplished both with BenchTop™.
