Features
Our ScienceDesk™ Workstations designed for 2.5' x 3' (750 mm x 900 mm), 60 mm thick honeycomb breadboards are high-quality, ergonomic workstations with a modular system of accessories, making them ideal for use in imaging and photonics applications. A complete workstation includes a frame, breadboard, and optional accessories (all sold separately). Information on the available breadboards and accessories compatible with this workstation can be found below along with a simplified guide for customizing your own ScienceDesk workstation. The work surface of the ScienceDesk is mounted on rigid or vibration-isolating supports that are recessed within the frame rails to protect the tabletop from incidental contact. These steel frame rails also facilitate the strategic placement of shelves and other accessories around a system so that supporting equipment can be in close proximity to the isolated surface without being on it. See the Accessory Options tab or the image to the right for a sample ScienceDesk configuration. ![]() Click for Details Depth: 755.0 mm (29.72"), Width: 905.0 mm (35.63") These ScienceDesks are designed for use with 750 mm x 900 mm breadboards. The breadboard dimensions are what designate compatible accessories (e.g. an Overhead shelf for 900 mm wide ScienceDesks will be compatible with the above table). Each workstation is available with rigid (non-damping), passive, or active supports for applications requiring resolutions of <1 µm, <0.1 µm, or <0.001 µm, respectively. The active-air and passive anti-vibration frame options provide the user with a tabletop that is isolated from the detrimental effects that vibrations in the lab may cause, while the rigid option will not isolate the work surface from external vibrations. For more details on the different support options please see the Isolators tab. Breadboard Also offered are our intrinsically damped breadboards that feature a steel honeycomb core and working surface with unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (uPVC) side panels. These 58 mm thick tabletops are approximately 25% lighter than our Nexus breadboards and are available for applications that require minimal vibration damping on the tabletop. See the Specs tab for a complete comparison of the different breadboard options. Accessories Customize Your 2.5' x 3' (750 mm x 900 mm) ScienceDesk Workstation

ScienceDesk™ IsolatorsThorlabs' ScienceDesk frames have isolator mounting platforms in each of the interior four corners of the top rail. These platforms are fitted with rigid (non-isolating), standard passive, heavy-duty passive, or active supports for optical breadboards depending on the model chosen. Active-Air: This is the highest level of isolation available in the ScienceDesk line of workstations. Ideal for confocal microscopy, high-resolution optical microscopy, scaning probe microscopy, electrophysiology, holography, optical lithography, high-power optical microscopy, or other application requiring nanometer resolution. Passive: The standard version has been optimized for typical imaging applications that require micon resolution, while a heavy-duty version is available for applications that require a large load to be placed on the isolated breadboard. The level of isolation provided by our passive isolators provides an ideal environment for optical, OCT, confocal, and other imaging systems without the need for a constant supply compressed air. Rigid (Non-Isolating): Commonly used in laboratory environments for applications that are not overly sensitive to vibrations due to the lack of pneumatic isolators. ![]() Active Supports
Our ScienceDesks equipped with active isolators provide the highest degree of vibration isolation. Vertical damping is achieved by the use of a dual-chamber, damped pneumatic spring. The table is supported by the air pressure in these chambers. A piston, in contact with the bottom of the optical breadboard, is sealed to the upper chamber with a rolling rubber diaphragm, allowing virtually friction-free motion between piston and chamber. Floor or breadboard motion forces air to flow from one chamber to the other through a laminar flow damper. This restriction of airflow damps oscillatory motion between the floor and table, dramatically reducing settling time. The volume ratio of the chambers has been optimized to minimize the resonant frequency of the table frame while maximizing the damping performance. Damping of horizontal vibrations is accomplished by supporting the pneumatic vertical isolator on a Trifilar suspension system. This innovative pendulum design uses gravity to provide the restoring force after horizontal disturbances. Horizontal oscillations at the system’s resonant frequency are damped by linking the base of the vertical isolator to the outer cylinder with an oil-free, vibration-absorbing damper. To allow for changes in load distribution, the active vibration isolation optical breadboard supports have a self-leveling system based on precision 3-way valves that do not compromise vertical isolation when the system is at rest. Because these valves are actuated by breadboard movement, the system returns to within ±0.5 mm (0.02") of its original level position after disturbances. These isolators require a constant supply of air, such as that provided by our compressor. Removing the air supply will disable the active isolation system, causing the optical table to rest securely on top of the legs. ScienceDesks with active, self-leveling isolators not only provide the highest level of isolation but they are ideal for applications where the load placed on the optical breadboard is constantly changing. In addition, the active ScienceDesk frame is often chosen when the surrounding environment is less than ideal since the active isolators provide a higher level of isolation from floor vibrations. ![]() Passive Supports
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 breadboard 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 breadboard 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 breadboard without transmitting the vibrations created by the cooling fans. ![]() Rigid Supports
Rigid supports are non-isolating optical breadboard supports. They consist of a steel mounting tray welded into each corner of the frame. Each tray has 3 contact pads made from a rubberized material. The non-slip rubberized material prevents the position of the optical breadboard from drifting within the optical breadboard well of the ScienceDesk frame. The mounting trays are tested at the factory to ensure they are level. ScienceDesk frames with rigid supports are offered by Thorlabs for use in applications that are not sensitive to vibrations but that can still benefit from the ergonomic design and flexibility of the ScienceDesk system. For instance, applications like microscope slide preparation and low resolution semiconductor inspection might not require an isolated work surface, but the researcher or technician still needs to perform delicate tasks for prolonged periods of time in an environment that can support the preparation and inspection tools required for the application.
