3D WEDDING PHOTO ALBUM

Research on the nanometer scale requires fabrication and characterization on the same level of accuracy. The so called "noise free" labs, in which special measures have been taken to enable nanometer-scale research, promise to provide an ideal research environment
for the next 20 – 30 years.

In this photo, a view of one of the adjacent auxiliary equipment and media chambers within the "noise-free" lab area. These chambers will house the noise-producing equipment, such as pumps, transformers and power supplies, to reduce disturbances in the labs.

In this photo, one air-suspended and actively controlled vibration isolation element is shown. Between 3 and 8 of those let massive concrete blocks weighing 30 – 68 tons floating within sub-micrometer positioning accuracy.
