  "term": "Adaptive optics",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A technology that corrects for distortions in an optical wavefront caused by a medium, such as atmospheric turbulence or aberrations in a lens. It employs deformable mirrors and wavefront sensors to dynamically adjust the optical path, improving image clarity and resolution. This technique is widely used in astronomical telescopes and high-resolution microscopy.",
