The success of any precision experiment relies on a stable platform and rigorous mechanical integrity. The NeOptik range provides educators and researchers with a comprehensive suite of components, engineered to ensure measurement repeatability and the long-term stability of your optical setups.
1. Work surfaces: Optical tables and breadboards
To accommodate diverse spatial constraints and precision requirements, we offer two distinct tabletop technologies:
Solid aluminum breadboards: The ideal solution for compact setups requiring high mobility. Lightweight and non-magnetic, they feature a black anodized finish to eliminate stray light reflections.
Honeycomb core structures: Designed for vibration-sensitive experiments (such as interferometry or holography), these tables provide maximum structural rigidity and optimal resonance damping thanks to their high-performance cellular core.
2. Component mounting and positioning systems
Establishing the optical axis relies on research-grade standards (Ø12.7 mm / 0.5"), ensuring total modularity:
Post holders: These provide superior stability via two-line internal contact. An integrated spring-loaded plunger secures your height adjustments, preventing accidental component drops during the alignment phases.
Stainless steel posts: The industry standard for minimizing thermal drift, our posts allow for 360° component rotation while maintaining rigorous boresight alignment of the optical path.
3. Clamping and Off-axis modularity
NeOptik mounting systems allow you to bypass the constraints of the fixed hole grid for total configuration freedom:
Mounting bases and pedestals: Whether magnetic for instantaneous positioning or circular to reduce the spatial footprint, our bases allow you to anchor components at any coordinate on the table.
Clamping forks: These essential accessories enable the fixation of optomechanical assemblies independent of the tapped hole matrix. This is the preferred solution when the optical path dictates specific angles or non-standard intermediate positions.
By choosing NeOptik, you are investing in durable, scalable mounting systems capable of supporting both undergraduate laboratory sessions and your most demanding research projects.
