Thorlabs B2436F 2' x 3' Nexus breadboard with PTT900600 Isoplate vibration isolation support

Thorlabs' 60 mm (2.4") thick Nexus® breadboards are offered in a variety of lengths and widths from 12" x 12" (300 mm x 300 mm) to 36" x 48" (900 mm x 1200 mm). They feature all-steel construction, excellent thermal stability, and broadband damping optimized for each breadboard size. The 5 mm thick stainless steel top and bottom skins have a matte finish and the top skin is precision-machined with a surface flatness of ±0.1 mm (±0.004") over any 600 mm x 600 mm area. The breadboard has 1/4"-20 (M6) mounting holes on 1" (25 mm) centers with a 0.5" (12.5 mm) border at the edge of the breadboard.

PTT900600 - IsoPlate System

Air supply pressure max 60 psi

Thorlabs' IsoPlate Vibration Damping Systems provide passive vibration isolation for medium-sensitivity microscopy measurements. They consist of a lightweight support base with pneumatic isolators at all four corners. A choice of breadboards is available separately, with an array of 1/4"-20 or M6 tapped holes, or an untapped (no holes) work surface. This two-piece design is simple to install and minimizes coupling between the microscope, table, and floor. It is compatible with any breadboard and microscope pair which has a combined weight that is less than 180 kg.

The IsoPlate support plate contains four rubber pads, underneath which are four inflated cushions. A pair of these cushions shares an air reservoir, and the remaining two cushions have independent reservoirs. This arrangement provides stable, three-point dynamics to the system. For a detailed plot of the transmissibility from 1 Hz to 50 Hz, please see the Graphs tab.

Air suspension is achieved by three Schrader valves on the front panel of the IsoPlate, which can be inflated by a standard foot pump.
