As frustrating as having an atmosphere can be for physicists, it’s just as bad for astronomers, who have to deal with clouds, atmospheric absorption of certain wavelengths, and other irritations. One ...
For astronomers, it’s a magical moment: you’re staring at a monitor, and a blurry image of a cosmological object sharpens up, revealing new details. We call this “closing the loop,” a reference to the ...
CAMBRIDGE, MA--(Marketwired - Feb 3, 2014) - Boston Micromachines Corporation (BMC), a leading provider of MEMS-based deformable mirror (DM) products, adaptive optics (AO) systems and scientific ...
Adaptive optics is something of an expensive luxury. So far, astronomers have been the main beneficiaries of the technique and there has been little penetration of other niche areas or mass markets.
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, Vol. 112, No. 768 (February 2000), pp. 264-272 (9 pages) ABSTRACT An adaptive optics system is being built for the 6.5 m Multiple Mirror ...
The Hi-Speed DM37 deformable mirror from Alpao (Biviers, France) has a clear aperture of 7.5 mm but a large stroke of more than ±35 μm for astigmatism and focus wavefront correction, nonlinearity ...
A MEMS-based deformable mirror could significantly enhance retinal imaging systems and enable the early detection of common eye diseases. Boston Micromachines, based in Watertown, MA, has unveiled a ...
