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.

This 7-5/8" x 6-1/8" front-surface mirror has 1/2" wide black metal side strips, each with (4) 1/4" dia holes for mounting. (Flip it over and it's a regular back-surface mirror, which makes sense, but isn't always available as an option.) The front has some clean-off-able adhesive on the edges from a previous life, but be careful-FS mirrors are easy to scratch and should be cleaned with microfiber and/or compressed air.
