Description

mu-DM is a single-piece designed electromagnetic deformable mirror, optimized for use in microscopy and ophthalmology.
Versatile, it can be implemented alone in an open-loop or along with a wavefront sensor (included in AOkit Bio) for closed-loop applications.

µDM will allow you to restore diffraction-limited PSF and to image deeper in your samples. In ophthalmology, it will enable you to explore retinal cells at high-resolution by correcting ocular aberrations.

Technology & features

Principle & implementation

R

Several mounting options are available, including adaptors for the most common mechanical stages, to simplify integration of µDM into an optical setup.

R

Easy integration with electronics embedded in a single-piece design and connection via a USB3 cable.

Advantages of mu-DM

R

Fast closed-loop convergence and accurate sensorless correction with perfect linearity and absence of hysteresis

R

Preserved photon budget with achromatic, highly reflective and continuous membrane

R

Long-term stability with temporal drift automatic compensation

R

Large dynamic range with 50% of actuators stroke still available while generating 40 microns PtV of focus

R

Fine timing control with trigger-in and trigger-out features

R

Correction up to 10th Zernike order thanks to optimized actuator layout

About the software

R

For easy and fast implementation, we recommend using WaveTune, program controls all the elements with a simple user interface

R

For implementation of aberration detection methods into home-built software, we also provide WaveKit Bio, the Software Development Kit (SDK)
