The Minus K CT-10 is a passive, ultra-thin, low-height vibration isolation platform. It utilizes the company's patented Negative-Stiffness technology to provide a compact solution for isolating sensitive instruments from environmental vibrations. The platform is designed to support heavy payloads while maintaining a very low profile. It is a mechanical, passive system, meaning it does not require air or electricity to function. The primary application of the CT-10 is to provide a stable working surface for vibration-sensitive equipment such as atomic force microscopes (AFMs), scanning probe microscopes (SPMs), and other nanoscale metrology and imaging instruments.
