Couldn't tell it from the glass variety by just looking. This plastic mirror with rounded corners measures 3-15/16" x 5-15/16". Comes with protective film on both sides. We're thinking kids, camping, or just an unbreakable travel item. Pretty flexible, too, if you like fun-house mirror effects.

Optical imaging folk insist that their reflective surfaces be on top of the glass, because an optically minor “ghost” is created with back surface mirrors. These “First Surface” optical mirrors generally also have better glass and flatter surfaces than their household brethren. Delicate, with the fragile reflective surface exposed, they carry the prices that precision demands. If you are playing with lasers, photography or optical alignment, the first surface items below are what you need. Dimensions are included in the description as width x length x thickness, all in mm.

Check out this standard mirror that reverses to a first-surface mirror covered by a piece of protective film. The first-surface side is great for use with lasers. It's 1/8" thick and 8" long. And? And it tapers from 5-1/4" wide at one end to 5" at the other. If anyone asks, just tell him he's hallucinating.

It doesn't say that on the box, but that's what we're using it for around here because we're tired of surprises. It's a slightly convex 2-3/8" x 2" plastic mirror with a ball-and-socket joint (4-1/8" tall OA) with a self-adhesive strip to mount it where you can see people who have no business sneaking up on you in the first place, OK? Includes a little clip on the back to hold notes.

We believe these rectangular plastic lenses were intended for the view finders in inexpensive cameras. at 15mm x 21.5mm, with a short (-80mm) focal length, and a half aluminized side, they produce a reduced scale image projected onto another image. For instance, hold the half aluminized side toward you about 4" from your eye, and look at a wall. You will see a magnified image of your eye "projected" on a slightly out of focus and reduced image of the wall!! Now move the lens about 10" from your eye, put the tip of a pen about 2" from the lens and you get a big image of the pen superimposed on a reduced image of the rest of the world. Your get the idea!! Good to muse about, explain the optics for a science project, or just use to show your friends how weird the people at American Science are. We'll send you two so your friends can show their friends!!
