Microscope applications
-
Low Magnification
≤100x objective + eyepiece ≤0.15 numerical aperture
Generally no vibration isolation is required.
-
Medium Magnification
200x-1000x objective + eyepiece 0.2-0.85 numerical aperture.
Use Granite Isolator™ platform.
High Magnification
>1100x objective + eyepiece ≥0.90 numerical aperture.
Use Air Table Vibration Isolation.
Electronic Weighing Scale Applications
Use with scales with a resolution of 5 or 6 decimal places of a gram (.01-.001mg)
