Agile Focus Designs is developing optical methods of utilizing microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). Current research, sponsored by the NSF, focuses on the development of a 3D, high-resolution, imaging technology featuring MEM mirros and a novel optomechanical design. If successful, work will provide affordable, three-dimensional (3D) microscopic imaging through the use of an electronically-controlled, focusing element. 3D imaging systems for manufacturing or machine vision, miniaturized optical disk pick-ups, confocal and two-photon microscopes, optical coherence tomography, and endoscopic imaging systems
