Boston Micromachines Corporation Delivers New Deformable Mirror Controller to Meet Demands of Commercial Imaging Instrument Manufacturers

CAMBRIDGE, MA--(Marketwire - August 04, 2008) - Boston Micromachines Corporation, a leading provider of MEMS-based deformable mirror (DM) products for adaptive optics systems, today announced a new high speed, high precision controller for its award winning Multi-DM. With greater than 30 kHz frame rate and 14 bit resolution, the Multi-DM Controller provides a fifty fold improvement in speed and resolution over its predecessor, making it the fastest and highest resolution deformable mirror system on the market today. Also, Boston Micromachines was able to engineer the new controller in a package five times smaller than the previous version. Theses improvements enable the Multi-DM to be easily integrated into commercial imaging instruments.
