The Museum of Illusions refers to this type of mirror as an "antigravity mirror" because as it rotates once around the line-of-sight axis, the reflected image rotates twice, appearing upside-down when the joint is horizontal. Another type of non-reversing mirror can be made by making the mirror concave (curved inward like a bowl).
A convex mirror diagram showing the focus, focal length, centre of curvature, principal axis, etc. A convex mirror or diverging mirror is a curved mirror in which the reflective surface bulges towards the light source. [1] Convex mirrors reflect light outwards, therefore they are not used to focus light.
A mirror reflecting the image of a vase A first-surface mirror coated with aluminium and enhanced with dielectric coatings. The angle of the incident light (represented by both the light in the mirror and the shadow behind it) exactly matches the angle of reflection (the reflected light shining on the table). 4.5-metre (15 ft)-tall acoustic mirror near Kilnsea Grange, East Yorkshire, UK, from ...
In the example of the urn and mirror (photograph to right), the urn is fairly symmetrical front-back (and left-right). Thus, no obvious reversal of any sort can be seen in the mirror image of the urn. A mirror image appears more obviously three-dimensional if the observer moves, or if the image is viewed using binocular vision. This is because ...

Boy's image in a distorting mirror. A distorting mirror, funhouse mirror or carnival mirror is a popular attraction at carnivals and fairs. [1] Instead of a normal plane mirror that reflects a perfect mirror image, distorting mirrors are curved mirrors, often using convex and concave sections to achieve the distorted effect. [2]
Size comparison of primary mirrors. Segmented mirrors are typically hexagonal and arranged in a honeycomb pattern. A segmented mirror is an array of smaller mirrors designed to act as segments of a single large curved mirror. The segments can be either spherical or asymmetric (if they are part of a larger parabolic reflector [1]).
A K-mirror is a system of 3 plane mirrors mounted on a common motor axis which runs parallel to the chief ray of the system. If looking at the system parallel to the mirror surfaces, where only the edges of the mirrors remain visible, the middle mirror and the front and back mirror look like the backbone and legs of a capital-K; this illustrates the origin of the name.
