Why freeze the house if all you want is a cold beer?

 

What are the advantages of using Quiet Islands in place of designing a ‘Quiet’ building?

 

The world’s most sensitive instruments for highly advanced research are increasingly installed in less than ideal environments facing many environmental and building vibration sources.

 

Ultra-precision instruments, including SEM, cryo-TEM, AFM, STM, and E-Beam Lithography are exploring the sub-nanometer and even the sub-angstrom scale and are required to achieve extremely high resolution and precise measurements. Building floor vibration jeopardizes high-resolution performance and prevents such tools from meeting their design specifications.

 

There are two approaches to overcome this: Designing a facility to meet the stringent vibration criteria of extremely precise nanotech equipment (Quiet Building approach) or choosing only a point-of-use vibration cancellation under the sensitive equipment (Quiet Island).
