mu-DM

Electro-Magnetic Deformable mirror

mu-DM is a versatile, single-piece design, electromagnetic deformable mirror, which can be implemented in an open-loop or along with a wavefront sensor in a closed-loop setting.

mu-DM deformable mirror

 

mu-DM is a Deformable Mirror (DM)  containing 91 electromagnetic actuators organized in a centro-symmetrical pattern. The main highlights of this DM are:  

  • A high density of actuators 
  • Embedded electronics, for easier implementation 
  • A high dynamic range, linearity and stability

Features of mu-DM deformable mirror for microscopy 

+ Fast closed-loop convergence and accurate sensorless correction with perfect linearity and absence of hysteresis
+ Preserved photon budget with achromatic, highly reflective and continuous membrane
+ Long-term stability with temporal drift automatic compensation
+ Large dynamic range with 50% of actuators stroke still available while generating 40 microns PtV of focus
+ Fine timing control with trigger-in and trigger-out features
+ Easy integration with electronics embedded in a single-piece design and connection via a USB3 cable
+ Correction up to 10th Zernike order thanks to optimized actuator layout 

 

Available Software for mu-DM deformable mirror 

mu-DM suite software 

mu-DM Suite is a free software delivered with every mu-DM. It does not require calibration of deformable mirror with a wavefront sensor but with it you can apply a flat shape or first Zernike modes which can be handy for a first, quick alignment of the deformable mirror 

WAVETUNE
WaveTune is a unique software that seamlessly combines wavefront measurement and correction features with extensive instrument diagnostics. This software contains all the necessary tools to calibrate the DM. It can also operate it in closed-loop with HASO wavefront sensor, as well as in open-loop and perform beam shaping. 

WAVEKIT BIO
WaveKit Bio is a Software Development Kit (SDK), available in C++ and Python, specifically designed for microscopy applications. It contains all the necessary functions to implement sensorless AO, using image-based iterative algorithm (3N).
