The present invention is a platform, or tabletop, that is useful for mounting and supporting items, such as scientific equipment and the like, wherein the overall mass of the platform may be varied as desired. The platform primarily consists of a rigid tabletop, and may include a supporting vibration isolation system. The platform, or tabletop, of this invention includes an upper surface, a lower surface, and an intervening side wall, that, together with the upper and lower surfaces, defines an interior cavity, or cavity enclosure. An intermediate surface partitions the interior cavity into two sections, a bottom section and a top section. The intermediate surface should seal the bottom section of the interior cavity thereby making the bottom section capable of containing fluids. This further ensures the platform is watertight and represents another material barrier to any vibrations between the upper surface and the main mass of the platform. The intermediate surface is located such that vertical support members are contained within the bottom section. An additional mounting surface, or tabletop may be attached to the upper surface wherein the mounting surface has a plurality of holes, or apertures, preferably drilled and tapped, that are used to securely mount items such as scientific equipment upon the tabletop.
