Additionally, the light is reflected off of a deformable mirror before and after exposure to the eye to diffuse optical aberrations.

At the other end of the beamline a deformable mirror is used to remove imperfections in the wavefront.

In late 2002, a novel deformable secondary mirror was added to the telescope.

This pixelated map of the wavefronts is fed into the deformable mirror and used to correct the wavefront errors introduced by the atmosphere.

The deformable mirror corrects incoming light so that the images appear sharp.

At the same time, the deformable mirror turret in the nose unstowed and pointed itself at the Libyan fighters.

Its particularity is the correction over a wider field of view than previous systems, that only used a single deformable mirror.

Continuous signals reflecting changing conditions of air turbulence are sent to a small deformable mirror installed in the telescope.

The adaptive optics computer, responding to the signals, calculates the shape to apply to the deformable mirror to cancel out the atmospheric distortions.

Ferrofluid mirrors are commonly used in adaptive optics as a deformable mirror.
