Designed for Thermo Fisher SEM

The DVIA-MLP1000 is a custom active vibration isolation system built exclusively for Thermo Fisher Scientific SEMs. Every platform dimension, mounting interface, and load path is configured to the specific microscope model. Side-push installation. No crane. At 158 mm, the microscope's original ergonomics remain unchanged. Feedback and feedforward control isolate vibrations from 0.5 Hz, achieving up to 90% isolation at 1 Hz.

Installation.

Side-Push Installation.

Roll the SEM onto the platform from any side. Attach casters, position, remove, level. No crane. No lifting. Faster setup, lower cost, zero risk to the instrument.

Pneumatic Spring.
Better Performance.

Pneumatic Spring. Better Performance.

Combines pneumatic springs with active control algorithms to eliminate low-frequency vibrations, protecting sensitive Thermo Fisher SEMs.

Feedback corrects. Feedforward anticipates.

Feedback measures vibration on the isolated mass and counters it in real time. Feedforward reads the floor and cancels disturbances before they arrive. Together, they deliver exceptional low-frequency isolation. Your instruments operate as if the vibration doesn't exist.

iconHow it works

Passive Isolation (Spring & Damper):

Without active controls, the spring (k) and damper try to absorb shocks. However, at low frequencies, they can actually amplify the floor disturbance (d), causing the mass to resonate.

Feedforward Control:

Leverages ground sensor data to proactively command the actuators, nullifying floor vibrations before they reach the isolated mass.

Feedback Control:

Continuously measures the isolated mass's residual vibration (y) and uses the actuators to counteract it in real time.

Together, these advanced control mechanisms significantly enhance isolation performance, keeping the mass nearly perfectly still!

Responds before you notice.

A floating-point DSP delivering 1800 MFLOPSprocesses vibration data in real time.Response time: 0.5 ms. By the time vibrations reachyour microscope, it's already been cancelled.

Detects the imperceptible

Detects the imperceptible.

11 Geophone velocity sensors with 2.55 V/in/s sensitivity and just 0.15% distortion. They capture low frequency vibrations other systems miss entirely so the DVIA-ULF can cancel what it can't ignore.

Six axes

Six axes. Zero compromise.

The DVIA-ULF controls all six degrees of freedom independently. Its algorithm decouples each axis, eliminating cross-coupling. Sub-micron translational and sub-microradian angular stability, maintained simultaneously.

Magnetically silent

Magnetically silent.

Less than 0.05 μT magnetic field. Electron beams are sensitive to the smallest magnetic interference. The DVIA-ULF is engineered to be magnetically silent — your beam stays true, your images stay sharp.

User Interface. Monitor. Log. Verify data.

The DVIA-MLP1000 UI displays real-time vibration levels, actuator response, and sensor output across all six axes. Every data can be automatically logged. Review historical trends, export reports, or verify isolation performance at any time. No hidden processes. No black-box algorithms. Your facility team sees exactly what the system is doing, why it's responding, and how it's performing against specification.
