3.4 Accessories

Accessories are the key to creating an ergonomic workspace. ScienceDesk accessories are designed to provide the flexibility

to place a breadboard, shelf, or storage bins at any position above, below, or to the side of the isolated system. In addition to

shelving and storage, ScienceDesks can be equipped with brackets and holders to support computer equipment, casters for

mobility,  and  a  wrist  rest  for  comfort.  Thirty-two  accessory  mounting  points  along  the  upper  rails  provide  numerous

configuration options to help simplify the customization of your workstation. A small, portable compressor and an air regulator

are also available for use with active isolation systems. Please see www.thorlabs.com for full details.
