  2. Curved mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curved_mirror

    A concave mirror, or converging mirror, has a reflecting surface that is recessed inward (away from the incident light). Concave mirrors reflect light inward to one focal point. They are used to focus light. Unlike convex mirrors, concave mirrors show different image types depending on the distance between the object and the mirror.

  3. Reflecting telescope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflecting_telescope

    Like the Schiefspiegler, it is an unobstructed, tilted reflector telescope. The original Yolo consists of a primary and secondary concave mirror, with the same curvature, and the same tilt to the main axis. Most Yolos use toroidal reflectors. The Yolo design eliminates coma, but leaves significant astigmatism, which is reduced by deformation of ...

  4. Catadioptric system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catadioptric_system

    In 1876 a French engineer, A. Mangin, invented what has come to be called the Mangin mirror, a concave glass reflector with the silver surface on the rear side of the glass. The two surfaces of the reflector have different radii to correct the aberration of the spherical mirror.

  5. Cassegrain reflector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassegrain_reflector

    The Cassegrain reflector is a combination of a primary concave mirror and a secondary convex mirror, often used in optical telescopes and radio antennas, the main characteristic being that the optical path folds back onto itself, relative to the optical system's primary mirror entrance aperture.

  6. Reflector (photography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflector_(photography)

    A portable folding reflector positioned to "bounce" sunlight onto a model. Reflectors vary enormously in size, colour, reflectivity and portability. In tabletop still life photography, small mirrors and card stock are used extensively, both to reduce lighting contrast and create highlights on reflective subjects such as glassware and jewelry.

  7. Lieberkühn reflector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lieberkühn_reflector

    The Lieberkühn reflector completely surrounds the objective lens, featuring a central hole through which it is mounted onto the lens. The mirrored inner surface faces the specimen. A Lieberkühn reflector is typically a concave mirror [6] (see illustrations), one descriptions uses a flat mirror at a 45-degree angle. [7]

  8. Schmidt camera - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmidt_camera

    The Mersenne–Schmidt camera consists of a concave paraboloidal primary mirror, a convex spherical secondary mirror, and a concave spherical tertiary mirror. The first two mirrors (a Mersenne configuration) perform the same function of the correcting plate of the conventional Schmidt. This form was invented by Paul in 1935. [24]

  9. Real image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_image

    Real images can be produced by concave mirrors and converging lenses, only if the object is placed further away from the mirror/lens than the focal point, and this real image is inverted. As the object approaches the focal point the image approaches infinity, and when the object passes the focal point the image becomes virtual and is not ...
