High Resolution Microscopy

In-Vitro Fertilization

The last I recall, these were about $12k-$15k per shelf.

Masterlu has given just a few examples of industrial scientific applications which demand state of the art isolation in order to be able to carry-out these processes. Does anyone think that these industries haven't tried other less expensive methods? If they could get away with buying a few blobs of sorbothane from ebay or any of a number of audiophile solutions and save thousands, does anyone think that they wouldn't adopt those far less expensive methods? These industries expend vast amounts of money investigating the problems and employing expensive solutions because there are no cheap solutions to these problems.
