Newport 305 Rod Platform

The Newport 305 Rod Platform is essentially a mounting interface plate that attaches to a damped rod system and provides a rigid base for optical or scientific hardware.

It is commonly used with:

• Optical rails and posts
• Laser alignment systems
• Microscopy and photonics setups
• Lab instrumentation fixtures

Key features

• Precision-machined platform for stable component mounting
• Compatible with damped optical rods (reduces vibration)
• Typically part of modular assemblies (often paired with damped rods like Newport 45 series)
• Designed for high mechanical stability in lab environments
