Spherical Convex Mirrors

Custom spherical convex mirrors for beam divergence and wide-angle reflective imaging.

Product Overview

A spherical convex mirror has a reflective surface curved outward as a section of a sphere.

It causes collimated incident light to diverge and forms an upright, reduced virtual image of a real object.

Substrate material, diameter or outline, thickness, radius of curvature, focal length, surface figure, and reflective coating can be specified to match the required geometry.

Applications

  • Wide-Angle Imaging Systems: Expands the observed field by reflecting a larger scene into the camera optics.
  • Industrial Inspection Cameras: Provides a wider overview of a work area or surrounding components within a reflective imaging arrangement.
