Brackets & Rails Optical Tables Optical Tables Optical Tables The Concept of Closed Top Honeycomb Tables Real Closed Top – no way for liquids or tiny partic­ les to get in. There are only the holes you do use. Make “new” holes by yourself. If You need a hole, clear it of the plug with a pencil or any similar item. Seal the no longer needed hole with the self-solidifying plastic mass again. In order to facilitate composition of optical schemes, we pre-set the plastic plugs of two colours, so that they form a coordinate grid with a mesh of 100 mm.
