Plane Glass Mirror
Model Number: MTO-02
The Plane Glass Mirror is a rectangular optical accessory used for experiments involving reflection, image formation, ray tracing, and geometrical optics. Micro Technologies supplies these mirrors in back-silvered glass construction with a protective coating applied over the reflective layer to support durability during regular laboratory handling. Multiple dimensions are available, including 75 × 25 mm, 75 × 50 mm, 75 × 75 mm, 100 × 25 mm, 100 × 50 mm, and 100 × 75 mm. The flat reflective surface makes the mirror suitable for optical benches, ray experiments, reflection demonstrations, and compatible laboratory setups. Standard supply is available in packs of 10, making the product convenient for institutional and bulk laboratory procurement.
Product Specification
The Plane Glass Mirror is a rectangular optical component used in laboratory experiments where a flat reflective surface is required for observing the behaviour of light. It is suitable for investigations involving the law of reflection, image formation, ray paths, angles of incidence and reflection, and other fundamental geometrical optics applications.
The mirror is manufactured from glass with the reflective silvered layer applied to the rear surface. This back-silvered construction keeps the reflective coating behind the glass rather than directly exposed at the front. A protective backing is applied over the silvered surface to help preserve the reflective layer during normal handling, storage, and repeated laboratory use.
Micro Technologies supplies the Plane Glass Mirror in several rectangular sizes, allowing laboratories to select dimensions according to the optical setup being assembled. Smaller mirrors are convenient for compact ray-tracing arrangements, while larger formats provide additional reflective area for demonstrations and experimental configurations requiring a broader surface.
The flat glass surface provides consistent reflection when correctly positioned in a suitable mirror holder, optical bench, ray box arrangement, or other compatible setup. The mirrors can be used individually or incorporated with lenses, light sources, screens, pins, protractors, and related optical accessories.
For institutions purchasing consumable and frequently handled optics components in quantity, the Plane Glass Mirror offers convenient procurement through standard packs of 10 pieces. Multiple size options, straightforward handling, durable protective backing, and compatibility with common optics apparatus make it a practical addition to physics and optical laboratories.

FAQs
What is a Plane Glass Mirror used for?
A plane glass mirror is commonly used in optics experiments involving reflection, image formation, ray tracing, and geometrical optics. It can be mounted in compatible holders or incorporated into optical bench arrangements.
What does back silvered mean?
Back silvering means the reflective coating is positioned on the rear side of the glass. Light passes through the glass before reaching the reflective layer, while the coating remains protected behind the front glass surface.
What sizes are available?
Standard sizes include 75 × 25 mm, 75 × 50 mm, 75 × 75 mm, 100 × 25 mm, 100 × 50 mm, and 100 × 75 mm. This range supports different laboratory and optical setups.
Does the mirror have a protective coating?
Yes. A protective coating is provided over the back-silvered layer. This helps protect the reflective backing against normal handling and environmental exposure.
How many mirrors are supplied in one pack?
The standard packing contains 10 plane glass mirrors. This quantity is convenient for laboratories, institutions, distributors, and procurement projects requiring multiple identical mirrors.
Does a Plane Glass Mirror require calibration?
No conventional calibration is required. The mirror should have a clean, flat reflective surface and should be correctly aligned within the experimental setup for reliable observations.
How should the mirror be maintained?
Handle the mirror carefully by its edges whenever possible and keep the optical surface clean. Avoid abrasive cleaning materials and protect the glass against impact, scratches, and excessive pressure.
Can these mirrors be used with optical benches?
Yes. Appropriate sizes can be mounted in compatible mirror holders and incorporated into optical benches, ray-tracing setups, reflection experiments, and other laboratory optical arrangements.
Can Plane Glass Mirrors be ordered in bulk?
Yes. Quantity orders can be supplied for laboratories, universities, colleges, research facilities, scientific equipment distributors, and institutional procurement requirements.
Can custom mirror sizes be supplied?
Custom dimensions may be considered depending on required size, quantity, glass specifications, and manufacturing feasibility. Buyers can provide their dimensional requirements with the RFQ.
How are the mirrors packed for transportation?
Glass mirrors are separated and protected to reduce scratching, edge damage, and breakage during transportation. Additional bulk or export packaging can be arranged according to order requirements.
What should be considered when selecting a mirror size?
Selection depends on the available holder, required reflective area, optical path, and experimental configuration. Larger mirrors provide a broader reflective area, while compact sizes suit smaller setups.
