  4. SolsTiS Rack Mounted

The rack mounted SolsTiS system is designed for the operation of portable cold atom experiments, although it is equally at home in a laboratory where space is limited. The pre-mounted system enables rapid set-up of desired experiments and investigations, minimising downtime due to laser assembly and integration. The system can be customised to your requirements with additional optics packages.
