  2. Beveled glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beveled_glass

    A beveled glass mirror, ca. 1910. Beveled glass is usually made by taking thick glass and creating an angled surface cut around the entire periphery. [1] Bevels act as prisms in sunlight creating an interesting color refraction which both highlights the glass work and provides a spectrum of colors which would ordinarily be absent in clear float glass.

    The 200-inch (5.1 m) Hale Telescope at Mount Palomar. In 1856–57, Karl August von Steinheil and Léon Foucault introduced a process of depositing a layer of silver on glass telescope mirrors. The silver layer was not only much more reflective and longer lasting than the finish on speculum mirrors, it had the advantage of being able to be ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror

    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 ...

  5. Newton's reflector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_reflector

    Newton describes a telescope with an objective concave primary mirror diameter of 2 inches (50 mm) 0.3 of an inch thick, ground to fit a sphere that was 25 inches in diameter giving it a radius of 12.5 inches and a focal length of 6.25 inches (158 mm). The mirror was aperture reduced to an effective aperture of 1.3 inches by placing a disk with ...

  6. Cassegrain reflector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassegrain_reflector

    The Cassegrain reflector is a combination of a primary concave mirror and a secondary convex mirror, often used in optical telescopes and radio antennas, the main characteristic being that the optical path folds back onto itself, relative to the optical system's primary mirror entrance aperture. This design puts the focal point at a convenient ...

  7. Segmented mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmented_mirror

    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]). They are used as objectives for large reflecting ...
