Description
Circular, Square, Rectangular Mirrors from Tower Optical are crafted with precision to meet the highest standards of optical performance. These mirrors feature a highly polished surface designed to reflect light efficiently, making them ideal for a variety of optical applications. The reflecting surface is typically a thin coating of aluminum or silver, applied to the front surface of the mirror. This first surface design ensures that the optical properties of the glass do not interfere with the incident or reflected light, providing superior clarity and reflection quality.
Each mirror is coated with a protected aluminum layer on the front surface, ensuring durability and longevity. The rear surface is finely ground, further enhancing the mirror's structural integrity. These mirrors are available in both standard and high-grade options, utilizing BK7 grade A optical glass or UV grade fused silica, depending on the specific requirements of your application. The dimensional tolerances and surface quality are meticulously controlled to ensure that each mirror meets the exacting standards expected in high-precision environments.
At Tower Optical, we understand that every project is unique. That's why we offer custom versions of all our mirrors. Simply provide us with your drawings or specifications, and we will deliver a tailored solution that meets your exact needs. Our commitment to quality and precision makes our mirrors not just a purchase, but a valuable investment in your optical endeavors.

Frequently Asked Questions
The mirrors have a highly polished surface for reflecting light.
The reflecting surface is usually a thin coating of aluminum or silver.
Most mirrors for optical applications are called first surface types since the coating is on the front surface thereby eliminating the optical properties of the glass from affecting the incident or reflected light.
The material used for the mirrors is BK7 grade A optical glass.
The dimensional tolerance for the mirrors is +0.0/-0.1mm for standard grade and +0.0/-0.1mm or fused silica for high grade.
