Passive isolator reduces natural vibrational frequency of platform to less than 1 Hz - well below frequencies of vibration induced by human activity. Biological, crystal-growth, and other experiments mounted on platform protected against disturbances by technicians working in vicinity. Designed for use in microgravitational environment of spacecraft. Modified version designed for use on Earth by including components counteracting steady normal Earth gravitation. Consumes no electrical power, simple, and inexpensive.
