Boston Micromachines manufactures and develops instruments based on MEMS technology to perform open and closed-loop adaptive optics.
The technology is applied in astronomy, beam shaping, vision science, retinal imaging, microscopy, laser communications, and national defense.
[3] Most recently, Boston Micromachines has developed an Adaptive Optics Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope for high-resolution in vivo imaging in the human retina for use in pre-clinical studies.
[4] Capabilities include quantitative measures of cone physiology, detection of microaneurysms and small vessel blood flow profiling.
Boston Micromachines deformable mirrors are capable of correcting for atmospheric distortion in long distance laser communication and other pulse shaping applications.
