May 9, 2007 — Boston Micromachines Corp. (BMC) says its MEMS-based deformable mirror products have helped realize achievements in multi photon microscopy, an advanced optical technique that increases the imaging depth in living tissue. Boston University’s Biomedical Engineering Biomicroscopy Lab has recently demonstrated high resolution images of biological tissue using BMC’s deformable mirrors in its multiphoton microscopy research.

BMC’s deformable mirrors allow researchers to resolve images deeper into the tissue. Additionally, researchers will now be able to look at cells and cellular processes in their natural environment, in vivo, which is scientifically more interesting. These advances will pave the way for further progress in the study of neural disorders and various diseases.
