Mirror controller MR-E-3
The MR-E-3 controller is the ideal solution for driving the MR-series 2D fast steering mirrors. As a development kit, it consists of a base unit (with housing) and an integrated mirror head unit with mirror and proxy board. The development kit is recommended for testing and proof of concept work. The boards without housing are available as OEM version for integration with system electronics.
