The world should know about your discoveries. See clearer pictures of celestial objects in deep space than ever before with our best-in-class deformable mirrors that compensate for atmospheric disturbances and instrument misalignments. Our micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) deformable mirrors help telescopes compensate for atmospheric effects and correct for minor misalignments in instruments. MEMS deformable mirrors have pistons underneath the surface that can move to change the mirror surface, effectively controlling the shape of the light reflected from it. With the help of NASA SBIR programs and through internal development activities, BMC has developed new types of deformable mirrors and improved the cost of manufacturing deformable mirror hardware for adaptive optics in astronomy Boston Micromachines' deformable mirrors are now being used in space telescopes and observatories around the world. These observatories are exploring the universe by imaging astronomical phenomena at resolutions previously unattainable due to the use of adaptive optics in astronomy. Boston Micromachines' continuous and segmented deformable mirrors are ideal for a range of applications in adaptive optics in astronomy. BMC deformable mirrors enable sophisticated aberration compensation in an easy-to-use package. Use a standard deformable mirror with an upgraded driver (X-Driver) to receive the fastest-in-class response time from your deformable mirror setup. With sizes ranging from 137 actuators to more than 4000 actuators, we are sure to have the right mirror for your installation. In addition, the Boston Micromachines' Hex Class deformable mirror architecture can be used in testbeds to simulate the large segmented primary mirrors typically found in the latest Extremely Large Telescope designs. Hex mirror segments can tip, tilt and piston for alternative wavefront control. Boston Micromachines deformable mirrors (DMs) are used in various telescopes and observatories around the world. Our high-actuator count DMs are used for exoplanet discovery using coronagraphy. A coronagraph is an optical instrument that blocks light from the center of a telescope beam, allowing light from surrounding sources to pass through. This optical technique is used to find extrasolar planets and circumstellar disks around nearby stars.
