Description
Circular, Square, Rectangular Mirrors are essential components in various optical applications, known for their highly polished surfaces that effectively reflect light. These mirrors typically feature a thin coating of aluminum or silver on the front surface, a design choice that enhances their reflective capabilities by minimizing the impact of the glass's optical properties on the light. This front surface coating, often referred to as a first surface type, ensures that the mirrors deliver precise and accurate reflections, making them ideal for demanding optical tasks.
At Tower Optical, all our mirrors come with a protected aluminum coating applied to the front surface, ensuring durability and consistent performance. The rear surface of these mirrors is finely ground, adding to their overall quality and reliability. We offer a range of mirrors crafted from BK7 grade A optical glass, available in both standard and high-grade options. For applications requiring superior optical clarity, our high-grade mirrors are also available in UV grade fused silica, providing exceptional performance in various environments.
Our commitment to quality is evident in the meticulous manufacturing standards we uphold. Each mirror is crafted with precise dimensional tolerances and surface quality, ensuring that they meet the rigorous demands of optical professionals. Whether you require standard sizes or custom specifications, Tower Optical is dedicated to delivering mirrors that are not just functional but also a testament to superior craftsmanship. Experience the difference with our expertly designed mirrors, where quality is truly priceless.
