  • Once focusing has been achieved, bendAO's adaptive optics technology steps in to correct for optical aberrations caused by defects in the optical system or polishing errors. bendAO's innovative actuator configuration means that their astatic floating heads ensure a ball-joint connection to the bender mirror whereas soft mirror pads eliminate the print-through effect that is often observed with piezo actuators.
