Thorlabs PBH11112, 4' x 2.5' x 2.4", Performance Optical Breadboard provides high performance at an economical price. This 2.4" thick optical breadboard provides high stiffness and standard damping making it an ideal solution for general lab purposes and a favorite OEM breadboard. This breadboard incorporates a double plate (top and bottom), single-honeycomb design, providing excellent stiffness and dynamic rigidity. In the Performance series, the top layer consists of a stainless steel top plate. The second layer adds the main steel honeycomb structure and the stainless steel bottom plate. The main honeycomb core is fabricated from strips of precision-formed plated steel, which is bonded together with a high tensile strength epoxy adhesive. This breadboard is stocked in the USA.
