Boston Micromachines unveils new MEMS mirror

Jan. 11, 2006 — Boston Micromachines Corp., a Watertown, Mass., provider of MEMS products for adaptive optics systems, announced the Mini-DM, a new MEMS deformable mirror.

The company says the mirror is cost effective and offers high resolution. It is slated for use in microscopes, telescopes, and ophthalmic instruments.

“Because the Mini-DM is a true off-the-shelf product with high performance and a low price tag it allows researchers to accomplish ‘proof-of-principle’ experiments without the investment formerly required,” said Paul Bierden, president and CEO of Boston Micromachines, in a prepared statement. “This product will extend the range of applications for which adaptive optics is economical.”
