Optical platform, also known as optical breadboard, optical table, scientific desktop, experimental platform, for the level, stable tabletop, the general platform need to be vibration isolation and other measures to ensure that it is not interfered by external factors, so that the normal scientific experiment and the instrument is not Affected by vibration performance. At present, there are two major categories, active and passive. The passive and rubber and air float two categories.
Optical platforms, including motorized linear stage, manual rotation stage, are widely used in optics, electronics, precision machinery manufacturing, metallurgy, aerospace, aerospace, navigation, precision chemical and non-destructive testing, as well as other mechanical industry's precision test equipment, equipment, vibration isolation of key devices.
With the advancement of advanced equipment and processes, nano-scale measurement becomes possible.
For example, an imaging system that uses a microscope to highly magnify the image, and the microscope and the camera lens together determine the image at each point on the photo paper. If, in the exposure process, each part of the optical system (the illumination system, the sample, the microscope optical system, the imaging optical system, and the photographic paper plane) moves precisely together, there is no relative displacement and the imaging will be very clear. If the sample moves relative to the objective lens, the image will be blurred. In optical interferometry, holography, and the use of similar laws, controlling relative motion is important.
Therefore, its stability will be affected by many factors. Such as the external vibration source, the weight of the system, the structure of the optical platform, and so on.
