Introduction
bendAO™ is an advanced product combining a high-elliptical curvature bender mirror with micro-actuator powered adaptive optics, designed for X-ray micro/nanofocusing and aberration correction. Developed by Imagine Optic and ISP System, it offers unprecedented precision in X-ray applications.

Key Features
- Patented Mirror Design: The mirror's unique shape and optical quality allow precision focusing with an elliptical shape error of less than 0.2 µrad RMS.
- Adaptive Optics Technology: Corrects optical aberrations from system defects or polishing errors.
- Innovative Actuator Configuration: Astatic floating heads and soft mirror pads prevent print-through effects, while in-line configuration corrects aberrations along the curvature radius.
- Microcontroller Integration: Each actuator has its own microcontroller and power supply, with a unique algorithm for inter-actuator communication.
- Open-loop Operation: Fast and easy, with mechanical design allowing shape locking and power cut-off, making it insensitive to electromagnetic perturbations.
