Our products are used and customized for many optical instruments
Boston Micromachines products can be used in their current form or can be customized. From housings to mirror mounts, cables to electronics, BMC technology is versatile enough to fit almost any instrument.
Contact us to see how our products can be customized for various wavelengths in a package that fits into your enclosure.
Compact and customizable
Whether it is in our standard packaging or a using a custom-designed housing, BMC technology can be adapted to your OEM instrument. We have experience changing almost every aspect of the packaging of our product to fit your needs. Scroll down to find out more.
Applications
Microscopy
The MINFLUX (minimal photon fluxes) method combines single-molecule detection strategies used in STORM (Stochastical Optical Reconstruction Microscopy), with precise and rapid illumination strategies used in STED (Stimulated Emission Depletion) microscopy, which yields nanometer resolution in 3D. BMC deformable mirrors are used to enable 3D-MINFLUX localization.

Other Applications
Our deformable mirrors are used in various other microscopy applications. Learn more about it in our Microscopy section, or contact us to discuss your own application.
Laser Communication
Long Range Horizontal Imaging and Targeting
Multiple Confidential Defense Contractors
We are also working closely with commercial entities, providing hardware for long range horizontal imaging and interferometry systems to be deployed in the field, primarily in defense applications. We can provide full deformable mirror systems, as well as customized components for specific equipment. Contact us to find out how you can use adaptive optics hardware in your imaging and targeting system.
Easy integration with compact form factor and a simple interface
BMC's compact form factor makes it simple and easy to integrate devices into your beam path. Deformable mirrors are used as enabling components to create sharper images using a multi-photon microscope or maximize the data transmission rate for laser communication systems. The interface is so simple that companies take advantage of either our software and electronics or design their own for complete OEM system integration.
The following are some of the industries that we have impacted with our components. Contact us to find out more.
