AO Systems for microscopy

Available in a variety of hardware configurations for open and closed-loop use, AOKit Bio is the solution for researchers who want to incorporate adaptive optics into their custom-built imaging systems. AOKit Bio is compatible with different phase modulators and HASO wavefront sensors. Combining this mirror with the accuracy of HASO wavefront sensors and the ease of use of our adaptive optics software, AOKit Bio is your key to successful imaging.Adaptive Optics set microscopy AOKit Bio is a set of adaptive optics components composed of a wavefront sensor, either HASO4 First or HASO4 SWIR, a deformable mirror or phase modulator, and WaveTune adaptive optics software.

A UNIQUE SET OF ADVANTAGES

+ The adaptive optics loop can be integrated with different phase modulators, such as deformable mirrors and spatial light modulators (SLM)
+ Integration with one of our deformable mirror delivers 50 µm maximal deformation and exceptional surface quality (10 nm RMS active flat)
+ The choice of HASO wavefront sensors allows reaching λ/100 RMS absolute accuracy over 400 λ dynamic range
+ AOKit Bio includes an adaptive optics software either with a user interface  or an SDK
+ Software allows to calibrate the phase modulator, to operate it in closed or open – loop modes
+ Software solution contains sensorless, image – based iterative aberration detection algorithms (3N and phase diversity) dedicated to microscopy applications
+ Software plugins are available for certain versions of NIS-ElementsTM, μManagerTM and MetamorphTM

Adaptive optics software

We provide two different adaptive optics software to control the hardware components of AOKit Bio package. For easy and fast implementation we recommend using the dedicated Software, which has been
specifically designed for aberration detection in microscopy. With a simple user interface, this program controls all the functions of the wavefront sensor and deformable mirror, both in closed and open-loop modes. For aberration detection it is using sensorless, image-based iterative aberration detection methods, genetic and 3N. For implementation of these methods into the home-built software we also provide WaveKit Bio, the Software Development Kit (SDK)
