  • Optical Mirrors-Image
    Optical Mirrors - (299 companies)
    Optical mirrors have a smooth, highly-polished, plane or curved surface for reflecting light. Usually, the reflecting surface is a thin coating of silver, or aluminum on glass. Product specifications for optical mirrors include diameter, radius...

    Parabolic Mirrors - (21 companies)
    Parabolic mirrors offer excellent correction of spherical aberration. Parabolic mirrors can either be on-axis or off-axis. On-axis parabolic mirrors produces collimated reflected light. Off-axis parabolic mirrors focus reflected light to a focal...

    Collimators - (69 companies)
    ...laser collimators send a beam to the diagonal, on to the primary, back to the diagonal, then back to the focuser. When collimated, the beam hits the center of both mirrors and returns directly to its source. X-ray collimators are devices used to filter...

    Spherical Mirrors - (49 companies)
    Spherical mirrors are curved so that reflected beams converge on a focal point. Important parameters to consider when searching for spherical mirrors include diameter, radius of curvature, thickness, and focal length. The diameter of the mirror...

    Hot Mirrors and Cold Mirrors - (35 companies)
    Hot mirrors and cold mirrors are Dichroic filters that have a sharp transition between rejecting and transmitting at the near-infrared-visible area of the spectrum. Hot mirrors and cold mirrors are multilayer dielectric mirrors that are used...
