23 Apr 2009 bendAO™ incorporates a high-elliptical curvature bender mirror with micro-actuator powered adaptive optics to provide you with powerful, all-in-one X-ray micro/nanofocusing and aberration correction. - Bender mirror of excellent optical quality capable of assuming a wide range of elliptical shapes with a radius of curvature ranging from several tens of meters to infinity
- Available with useful lengths ranging from 0.1 to 1 meter
- In-line mechanical actuator array corrects for optical aberrations
- Virtually no hysteresis and near-perfect linearity
- No print-through effect
- Final mirror shape assumed rapidly without drifting (a few seconds vs. several minutes with piezoelectric bimorph mirrors)
- Highly-resistant to electromagnetic perturbations during experiments
