DAEIL DVIO-B Optical Breadboard
DAEIL DVIO-B Optical Breadboard
The DAEIL DVIO-B Optical Breadboard provides tabletop-class rigidity in a compact, low-profile format for applications where vibration control is important but a full-size optical table is not practical. It is designed for mounting on an existing bench or frame and is well suited to microscopes, lasers, interferometers, imaging systems and other vibration-sensitive optical or precision measurement equipment.
Available in magnetic and non-magnetic constructions, with multiple sizes and thicknesses to suit different instruments, payloads and laboratory layouts.
Measured Performance
DAEIL tests finished DVIO-B breadboards using impact measurements and surface-flatness checks. Performance varies with breadboard size and thickness, so measured records for the configuration being considered can be requested.
- Compliance: 406 nm/N median on 1,200 × 900 × 100 mm production units.
- First natural frequency: 250 Hz on the same 1,200 × 900 × 100 mm configuration.
- Median measured flatness: 15 µm across 600 standard-size production units measured since March 2025.
- Catalogue flatness specification: ±0.03 mm, based on the mean of eight measured surface zones.
DAEIL reports that increasing a 1,200 × 900 mm board from 50 mm to 100 mm thickness reduced measured compliance from 1,268 to 406 nm/N and increased the first natural frequency from 157 to 250 Hz, illustrating the benefit of greater thickness for demanding applications.

- Compact laboratory setups where a full optical table is impractical
Important: The DVIO-B is the breadboard platform itself. Where additional floor or bench vibration isolation is required, Auckland Scientific can recommend a compatible passive isolation platform, workstation or support system for the instrument and environment.
Select your preferred construction and thickness above, then provide the required width, depth, instrument details and approximate load when requesting a quotation.
Tell Auckland Scientific what instrument you are supporting, its footprint and weight, and whether magnetic or non-magnetic construction is required. We can help select the most appropriate breadboard size, thickness and vibration-control arrangement.
