An increase in biomedical research and advancements in science and semiconductor manufacturing have created the need for highly accurate microscopes. Measurements and magnifications are being made within microns and angstroms using atomic force, scanning probe, optical, and electron microscopes.

Due to the ultra-high resolution requirements, most of these microscopes are installed using low frequency isolation systems. The isolation systems provide attenuation in laboratories and clean rooms where human footfalls and structural vibration can otherwise decrease performance and accuracy.

Low frequency vibration and shock isolation systems to maintain the designed accuracy of this equipment are available. Some applications require custom systems, structural analysis, and design of the support structures and frames used in conjunction with the isolation system and integrated in the machine design.

Biomedical research includes the manipulation of cells and the study of neurons and neural networks under magnification. Cell biologists and electro physiologists conducting cell injection, in-vitro, patch clamping, and neuro analysis require a "vibration free" environment.

Semiconductor manufacturing equipment including X-Y stages, mask aligners, wafer probes and micro positioning equipment also require ultra-low frequency isolation.



Diamond Turning Lathes, Nano Laboratories and Semiconductor Equipment


The degree of precision required from metrology and precision machine tools is ever increasing. Equipment that cuts, turns, polishes, and positions with nanotechnology can provide finishes and measurements within angstroms.

Ultra-precision equipment is used in many industries, including: semiconductor wafer processing, optics/lens manufacturing, and non-standard material machining processes.

High accuracy positioning equipment, including: diamond turning lathes, X-Y stages, and CD metrology machines typically utilize laser interferometry (position feedback) to position materials to be inspected with nanometer specifications. Additionally, equipment such as profilometers, form/contour, and roughness/roundness machines are required to provide sub-micron measurements.

Machine capabilities include: ultra-precision turning and micro grinding of materials such as, optical glass, crystals, non-ferrous metals, polymers, and ceramics. The surfaces of these materials are machined such that the results typically require little or no polishing, with surfaces having sub-micron finishes. Products made via this process include: CD's, contact lens tooling, optical lens components, and mirrors for laser applications.
