Vibration Isolation TutorialScienceDesk™ IsolatorsThorlabs' ScienceDesk frame has isolator mounting platforms in each of the interior four corners of the top-rail. These platforms are fitted with rigid, standard passive, heavy-duty passive, or active isolator supports for optical tabletops depending on the model chosen. A overview of the vibration isolator options can be found in the Selection Guide. Passive Supports- Set of Four Load Capacity
- Standard Passive Isolators: 570 lbs (260 kg) Max Load
- Heavy-Duty Passive Isolators: 1540 lbs (700 kg) Max Load
- Pneumatic Spring
The passive isolators on a ScienceDesk consist of an air chamber with a rolling-rubber sidewall. The air chamber is connected by tubing to a Schrader valve so that once the air chamber is inflated, the source of compressed air or the pump used to pressurize the chamber can be removed. The optical tabletop is supported by the air pressure in the chamber, which can be adjusted to compensate for a change in the load supported by the system. The volume and stiffness of the reinforced rubber air chamber has been optimized to minimize the resonant frequency of the optical table supports while maximizing the damping performance. The optical tabletop is supported by rigid supports when the passive isolators are not inflated. ScienceDesks with passive isolators are the most frequently chosen ScienceDesk for imaging applications. The level of isolation provided by the passive isolators provides an ideal environment for optical, OCT, confocal, and other imaging systems without the need for a constant supply of regulated compressed air. The compact frame supports a family of accessories that allow for the creation of an ergonomic workstation for imaging applications. For instance, a Swept Source OCT Imaging System contains the optical scan head as well as a computer, monitor, swept source laser, and a control box. With the ScienceDesk, all of the supporting electronics can be easily situated around the isolated optical tabletop without transmitting the vibrations created by the cooling fans.
