The 40-286 21 x 26mm Protected Aluminum Mirror is a high-quality optical component designed for use in a wide range of applications. Sourced from the renowned optical vendor Edmund Optics, this mirror is a rectangular metallic mirror with a protective aluminum coating on the front surface.
The mirror measures 21mm in width and 26mm in length, making it suitable for use in compact optical systems. It has a thickness of 6mm, providing robustness and stability during operation. The mirror is made from soda lime glass, which is known for its excellent optical properties and durability.
The mirror's coating is a protected aluminum type, specifically the EDM DPROTAL300200000 coating. This coating is designed to provide high reflectivity across the 400-2000nm wavelength range, making it ideal for use in broadband applications. The protective nature of the coating also ensures that the mirror's surface remains free from oxidation and other forms of degradation, enhancing its longevity and reliability.
The mirror is classified as a thin lens, indicating that it has been designed to minimize optical aberrations and distortions. This makes it an excellent choice for applications that require high precision and accuracy, such as imaging systems, interferometers, and spectrometers.
