The Newport RS3000 Optical Table is a large research-grade vibration isolation optical table designed for precision laboratory and photonics applications. The 1/4-20 threaded hole pattern on 1-inch centers is standard for mounting optical components, laser systems, and instrumentation.
Key specifications for this configuration typically include:
- Dimensions: 10 ft × 5 ft × 8 in thick
- Mounting grid: 1/4-20 threaded holes on 1-inch centers
- Construction: Steel honeycomb core with laminated ferromagnetic stainless steel top skin
- Application: Laser optics, interferometry, metrology, microscopy, semiconductor research, and vibration-sensitive experiments
- Weight: Often exceeds 2,000 lbs depending on configuration and support system
Newport’s RS-series optical tables are known for high stiffness, low vibration transmission, and excellent damping characteristics.
