This 37-288 off-axis parabolic mirror, sourced from Edmund Optics, is a high-quality optical component designed for precision applications. With a diameter of 6.35mm and a focal length of 6.35mm, it offers a precise optical path for various setups.
The mirror is made from UV-enhanced aluminum, a material known for its high reflectivity in the ultraviolet spectrum. This coating ensures efficient reflection of UV light, making this mirror ideal for applications that utilize UV light sources.
The mirror's off-axis angle is 90 degrees, which means it reflects light at a 90-degree angle from its incoming path. This feature is particularly useful in applications where the light path needs to be diverted without causing spherical aberration.
The mirror's shape is parabolic, which is designed to focus light at a single point, making it suitable for focusing and collimating applications. The mirror's radius of curvature is 6.35mm, which contributes to its focusing capabilities.
The mirror is made from BK7 glass, a common and versatile optical material. This glass offers excellent optical transmission in the visible spectrum and is resistant to thermal shock and chemical attack.
