Base Lab Tools offers a comprehensive selection of precision-engineered optical enclosures designed for use in photonics, laser labs, metrology, and other light-sensitive applications. These modular enclosures are available in a wide range of sizes and materials to support everything from benchtop experiments to full-scale optical table setups.
Each enclosure is fully framed from base to top, creating a rigid, self-supporting structure that can be placed anywhere on an optical breadboard or vibration isolation table—no external support or assembly required. 
Choose the material that best suits your experimental needs:

• Matte black hardboard for light-tight environments and stray light suppression
• Clear acrylic for visibility and demonstration purposes
• Black anodized aluminum for maximum durability, EMI/RFI shielding & laser safety

Enclosures are compatible with a variety of optomechanical systems and can be used to isolate optical paths, reduce ambient light interference, and control air currents. They integrate easily with laser systems, interferometers, spectroscopy setups, and other sensitive instruments.
We also offer a wide selection of accessories and hardware—including magnetic closures,  screw-mounted hinges, handles, viewing panels, and clamping kits—to customize your enclosure for optimal functionality.
Need a custom solution? We specialize in custom optical enclosures for non-standard applications, complex geometries, or integration with existing optical frames.
