Products

• Nexus Optical Tables, 210 mm (8.3") Thick — ThorLabs: All steel Nexus optical tables with a 210 mm thick honeycomb core, supplied in sizes from 1 m x 2 m up to 1.5 m x 2.5 m. The machined stainless steel top skin is tapped on a 25 mm grid and every table is individually tested for damping performance.
• Nexus Optical Tables, 310 mm (12.2") Thick — ThorLabs: A thicker Nexus optical table for demanding beam stability, offered from 1 m x 2 m up to 1.5 m x 4 m. The 310 mm core raises stiffness so that deflection under a 150 kg central load stays below 1.2 micrometres, suiting interferometry and long beam paths.
• Nexus Optical Tables, 460 mm (18.1") Thick — ThorLabs: The heaviest Nexus table, 460 mm thick, available from 1.2 m x 2 m up to 1.5 m x 4 m. The extra depth gives the highest stiffness in the range and is intended for large multi-instrument setups where relative tabletop motion must stay at the sub-nanometre level.
• Nexus Optical Breadboards, Optimized Damping, 60 mm (2.4") Thick — ThorLabs: Steel honeycomb breadboards 60 mm thick, from 300 mm x 300 mm up to 900 mm x 1200 mm. Each board is individually tested and damping is optimised per size, making them a practical mounting surface for benchtop optics and small laser setups.
• Nexus Optical Breadboards, Optimized Damping, 110 mm (4.3") Thick — ThorLabs: A 110 mm thick Nexus breadboard range covering 600 mm x 900 mm up to 1200 mm x 1800 mm. The deeper honeycomb core raises stiffness for larger optical layouts that still need to sit on a frame rather than a full optical table.
• Aluminum Breadboards: High Stiffness, 25 mm (0.98") Thick — ThorLabs: Lightweight non-magnetic breadboards built from aluminium plates over an aluminium honeycomb core. Matching the coefficient of thermal expansion throughout reduces thermal drift, and a T-slot in each side accepts 25 mm construction rails.
• Upgradeable Optical Table Supports: Rigid, Non-Isolating — ThorLabs: Free-standing rigid legs for Thorlabs optical tables, supplied in three heights with a levelling pad. They suit vibration-insensitive work such as general spectroscopy, and each leg can later be converted to passive pneumatic isolation with an upgrade kit.
• Passive Isolation Optical Table Supports — ThorLabs: Pneumatic table legs that isolate an optical table from floor vibration across the 10 to 50 Hz range where most laboratory disturbance sits. The closed oil-free system is inflated with a foot pump and needs no permanent compressed air supply.
• Optical Table Supports: Active Vibration Isolation — ThorLabs: Self-levelling pneumatic supports that isolate an optical table in both the vertical and horizontal axes from about 3 Hz upwards. The very low resonant frequency suits interferometry, nanopositioning and high resolution microscopy.
• Passive Benchtop Isolation Systems — ThorLabs: Benchtop isolation for breadboards and instruments, covering pneumatic IsoPlate platforms, bolt-on pneumatic isolator feet and sorbothane feet. They are intended for temporary setups and moderately vibration-sensitive microscopy and photonics work.
• Active Isolation Breadboard Support Frames — ThorLabs: All steel support frames carrying four air-mounted active isolators, sized for breadboards up to 1200 mm x 1800 mm. They self-level to a repeatability of 0.25 mm and suit interferometry, cell injection and non-contact surface measurement.

Before you specify

• What does an optical table actually do?

  An optical table is not simply a heavy bench. It does three jobs at once, the legs do a fourth, and knowing which of them you need decides whether you buy a table, a breadboard or nothing at all.

• Building a photonics laboratory in Bangladesh: the table, the mounts and the alignment habit

  Why the optical table is the first purchase rather than the last, how to choose between a breadboard and an isolated table, what to specify in mounts, sources and detectors, and the alignment habits that decide whether the bench works.

• Why your analytical balance will not settle

  Readability is not accuracy, and most Bangladeshi laboratories buy more of the first than their room can support. What the ceiling fan, the bench and the sample temperature are doing to your last digit, and a ten minute test that shows you.
