Active vs. passive vibration isolation, understanding the difference is critical to mitigating the impacts of vibration on equipment performance. Passive isolation systems use the natural properties of a spring and a dampener to reduce vibration.

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) is a national laboratory located in Berkeley, CA, with a focus on bringing together multidisciplinary teams of researchers to advance scientific discovery.

Low-frequency and high-frequency vibration both have a significant impact on electron microscopy laboratories and high-tech manufacturing facilities. These two types of vibration stem from different causes and the strategy for mitigating vibration for each is also different
