As Nanotech Applications Become More Diverse, the Need for Reliable Vibration Control Has Become Increasingly Critical
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2018
It wasn't too long ago that making the decision where to locate your scanning probe microscope was a simple one put it in the basement where the ambient vibration was minimized. But recently, with nanotechnology applications growing exponentially, scientists and engineers are putting their equipment in a multitude of locations where vibration noise is significantly high. Scanning probe microscopes, interferometers and stylus profilers are being sited in locations that pose a serious challenge to vibration isolation.
Additionally, in an effort to keep their nano-equipment costs as low as possible by cutting out the peripherals, many academics and industries are not adequately providing for vibration isolation on their ultra-sensitive nano-equipment that they are putting into their facilities.
