Mirrors

Our mirrors are made in optical glass and rectified with particular care.

Spherical mirrors:

Spherical mirrors can also be distinguished in different types according to the coating on the reflecting surface and in particular they can be as follows:
· Protected aluminum with quartz
· Protected enhanced aluminum with quartz
· Protected aluminum with a monolayer antireflection coating
· Protected gold

Flat mirrors

They can be made in any shape and we can divide them in two groups:
Posterior: this is the cheaper type. They are made out of a prealuminated glass sheet, covered with a silicone paint in order to protect the aluminium.
Anterior: the most important characteristics are the high reflection and the good chemical and mechanical resistance.
We can manufacture them as follows:
· Protected aluminum with quartz
· Protected enhanced aluminum with quartz
· Protected aluminum with a monolayer antireflection coating
· Protected gold

Aluminated mirrors can also be distinguished in:
· Total reflection-in protected aluminum with a processed surface; suitable for the deviation of the light beam and for projections in general.
· Partial reflection-50% (or in the required percentage) to transmit and reflect at the same time.

Electtroformed Mirrors

Electroforming is a technique used to manufacture optical parts in metal. These mirrors are produced by an electrolytic replication process which very accurately reproduces the geometry and finish of a carefully generated master surface.
Replication begins with electrolytic deposition of a nickel substrate, the thickness of which is designed and controlled to achieve desired mechanical properties. Upon separation from the master the nickel substrate is electrolytically coated with a highly reflective yet extremely hard and durable rhodium film.
