Request InfoAccurion GmbHHalcyonics GmbH has introduced its Nano 20 active vibration isolation system that is compatible with many compact scanning probe microscopes. The isolator weighs 5.6 kg and measures 204 × 204 × 60 mm. It provides up to 8 kg of active vibration isolation in all six degrees of freedom, beginning at 0.6 Hz and reaching >99% isolation (–40 dB) at >10 Hz. It does not require adjustment or tuning before use, and the company says that setup requires only placing the microscope on the isolator, some simple connections and turning on the power.See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSBioPhotonics Jan/Feb 2024 IssueLaser Scanning MicroscopesEvident’s FLUOVIEW™ FV4000 confocal laser scanning microscope and FV4000MPE multiphoton laser scanning microscope, feature advancements in imaging technology that empower researchers to...BioPhotonics Sep/Oct 2022 IssueCell SorterThe FACSDiscover™ S8 Cell Sorter from Becton, Dickinson and Co. features CellView™ image technology, combining spectral flow cytometry with sort-capable imaging.
