First Surface Mirror

First Surface MirrorLaminated First Surface Mirror

A first surface mirror, also known as a front surface mirror, is an optical mirror with coating on the face of the glass. It provides precise reflection for engineering and scientific applications. As opposed to a regular mirror, which has the reflective coating beneath the glass, a first surface mirror has no double image and provides a true reflection with no ghosting.

Beamsplitter Mirror

Optical grade beamsplitter coatings provide the highest quality on the market, allowing light to pass through with minimal tint. On the backside of the glass is an anti-reflective coating which prevents a double reflection, also known as “ghosting.” The dielectric mirror coating provides a crisp, easy-to-see reflection of text, graphics, and objects.

Scientific Precision FSM

Semiconductor Mirror

Custom optics are sometimes advertised as not only possessing high accuracy, but also as inexpensive; as if both were simultaneously achievable. In the world of optics, you get what you pay for. λ/4 wave first surface mirrors offer superior quality compared to other first surface mirrors on the market. The enhanced flatness is achieved by polishing float glass extensively before coating. Typically, most manufacturers offer float glass, which is 4-6λ per inch. The difference is immediately noticeable under magnification. The production of a high-quality optical component is an exacting process, requiring a high level of skill, quality equipment, engineering expertise, and close attention to detail.

UV Enhanced FSM

Ultraviolet Optical Mirror

UV enhanced first surface mirrors are optimized for high reflection from 10-400nm. Ultraviolet light is more susceptible to scattering than visible or IR light, therefore the surface must be free of imperfections. The manufacture of our mirrors is precise and thoroughly tested to ensure maximum light transmission without distortion.

Anti-Reflective Glass

The optical properties of anti-reflective glass make it as first choice for those who want a robust glass that delivers perfect vision. The glass generates less than 1% luminous reflectance, has high color rendering for even greater transparency, is very durable, and can be made stronger through thermal toughening.

“Why engineers & scientists love our company.”

We exist to make your job easier. Convenient online ordering and fast turnaround cut lead times to a fraction of other companies. In 15+ years, we’ve had many clients switch to us due to frustration with long lead times, slow support, phone tag, broken shipments, and missed deadlines.
