VayTek's STABLE TABLE (TM) |
|
VayTek's STABLE TABLE is a vibration isolation system. The STABLE TABLE is available as a countertop PLATFORM, or as a COMPLETE TABLE. Contact VayTek for more information.
|
This isolation technology is superior to air technology. First, the vibration isolation platforms are passive, mechanical and maintenance free. There are no air hoses or supporting hardware required. Second, the bearings isolate effectively for the horizontal and vertical vibration components. The superior performance of the bearings in all six degrees of freedom makes the isolation legs the best choice for eliminating unwanted vibrations.
The Complete Stable Table is an exceptionally rigid, electropolished stainless steel table designed for the microscope user. Vibration isolation is provided only where you need it, which is beneath the microscope and recessed within the table. This makes it possible to perform critical microscopic observations and use the work surface at the same time, without any workflow interruption. Meets Class One clean room specifications.These tables are available in widths of 36", 42", 48" and 60" to help laboratories accommodate critical space requirements. The microscope isolation platform may be located on the left side, center, or right side of the tabletop, depending on the application. Modular accessories such as keyboard trays, drawers and monitor platforms may be ordered separately.Complete Stable Tables range in price from about $3,800 to $4,800 (all prices subject to change without notice). Platforms for Leica Microscopes, with payload ranges from 35 to 200 pounds range in price from about $1,575 to $2,050 (prices subject to change without notice).Platforms for Nikon Microscopes, with payload ranges from 30 to 300 pounds range in price from about $1,575 to $2,400 (prices subject to change without notice).Platforms for Olympus Microscopes, with payload ranges from 30 to 75 pounds are priced about $1,575 (price subject to change without notice).Platforms for Zeiss Microscopes, with payload ranges from 30 to 95 pounds (more for Palm System) range in price from about $1,575 to $2,400 (prices subject to change without notice).All of the platforms are now manufactured in steel, with black powder-coat finish (all clean room approved). |

Customer Comments: We used the Stable Table throughout our 8-day 2000 course in Biological Atomic Force Microscopy at Johns Hopkins. We used it with two different Atomic Force Microscopes: a Digital Instruments Multimode and a Digital Instruments Bioscope. The Stable Table definitely helped reduce vibration noise in both cases. For the Multimode, it helped some, but not as much as we would have liked. It seemed to work much better with the Bioscope. One of our instructors, Dr. Kevin Costa, uses a Stable Table for his work, which is primarily cellular imaging and mechanics with a DI Bioscope. The bearings were too stiff for the Multimode, because it is a fairly light instrument. [Note from VayTek: Bearings may be adjusted for the weight of the instrument.] The Bioscope, however, is mounted on an inverted optical microscope, and the whole setup ends up weighing more than 50 pounds. We ended up adding weight (dumbells, actually) to the Stable Table when using it with the Multimode. We added enough weight so that the table was floating freely. The vibration isolation system we use is quite simple, but seems to provide by far the best results: a 400 pound marble block suspended from an I-beam in the ceiling by bungee cords. In our experience, this system works better than any other vibration isolation system, including active piezoelectric systems. Of course, its not exactly portable. One of the things we liked about the Stable Table was its small size and portability. It was quite easy to move it around from lab to lab and to different instruments, and didn't take up much space. -- Alex Hodges, Johns Hopkins
