High Speed Focus Control
The Boston Micromachines' DM design is simple in concept and enables high-speed, high-resolution control.
An actuator array is built upon a cartesian layout of electrodes. The supported mirror facesheet movement enables unmatched control. Our standard driver enables 14 bit average step size yielding almost continuous motion but with digital input.
Finally, the scalable fabrication process allows us to create multiple devices in large quantities, enabling lower cost at high volumes making the BMC DM optimal for OEM applications. Select here to learn about specific BMC mirror models.
Applications Using Focus Control
-
The Abberior MINFLUX Microscope
Our first OEM application using the Multi-DM, the Boston Micromachines deformable mirror architecture enables high speed focus control. Paired with the high-speed X-Driver, the Multi-C-1.5 enables volumetric imaging with nanometer precision utilizing this next-generation technique of super-resolution microscopy.
