• Reflective optics offer microscopic objectives
  that have the following broad features
• Used in microscopy applications
• Used for chromatic rectification over a broad
  spectrum
• Use two mirrors for image formation, or used to
  focus a laser in various types of imaging/laser
  applications
• Offer high magnification with ultraviolet,
  infrared or visible applications
• May be coated for enhanced performance over
  specified wavelengths or laser line

• High quality reflective optics may be constructed
  using the following materials
• Electroless-nickel plated substrates
• Beryllium
• Infrared crystals
• Ferrous metals
• Aluminum-silicon carbide
• Aluminum beryllium composites

• Metal optics and mirrors are also an integral
  part of many optical devices and systems. They
  have certain important features
• Almost always reflective
• Can withstand physical stresses and resilient to
  harsh environments
• Can withstand thermal stresses and will not
  degrade or heat up

• Plano mirrors are a kind of reflective optics
  with the following features
• High quality, metal-coated mirrors
• Used with infrared, ultraviolet or visible light
• High reflectivity coating over a wide spectrum
• Average reflectivity above 99 throughout the
  specified spectral region

• Flat Optics can be carved into various geometric
  shapes, such as squares, circles, cubes, prisms
  and free form. Their basic properties include
• Application in windows, filters, mirrors, wedges,
  etc.
• Operate in infrared, visible and ultraviolet
  regions of the spectrum
• Some possess multi-spectrum functions combined
  application in infrared and visible spectrums
• Available with or without thin film coatings
