  2. Silvering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silvering

    The reflective layer on a second surface mirror such as a household mirror is often actual silver. A modern "wet" process for silver coating treats the glass with tin(II) chloride to improve the bonding between silver and glass.

    A frame before and after treatment. The conservation and restoration of painting frames is the process through which picture frames are preserved. Frame conservation and restoration includes general cleaning of the frame, as well as in depth processes such as replacing damaged ornamentation, gilding, and toning.

  4. Paint sheen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paint_sheen

    The sheen [4] or gloss level of a paint is principally determined by the ratio of resinous, adhesive binder, which solidifies after drying, and solid, powdery pigment.The more binder the coating contains, the more regular reflection will be made from its smooth surface; conversely, with less binder, grains of pigment become exposed to the surface, scattering the light and providing matte ...

    A mirror reflecting the image of a vase A first-surface mirror coated with aluminium and enhanced with dielectric coatings. The angle of the incident light (represented by both the light in the mirror and the shadow behind it) exactly matches the angle of reflection (the reflected light shining on the table). 4.5-metre (15 ft)-tall acoustic mirror near Kilnsea Grange, East Yorkshire, UK, from ...

    Perspex has been used as a surface to paint on, for example by Salvador Dalí. Diasec is a process which uses acrylic glass as a substitute for normal glass in picture frames. This is done for its relatively low cost, light weight, shatter-resistance, aesthetics and because it can be ordered in larger sizes than standard picture framing glass.

    The surface has less reflective contrast and a shallow milky effect. Orange peel is caused by an uneven surface formation of large surface structures distorting the reflected light. Poor reflective contrast and shallow milky effect. Two high gloss surfaces can measure identically with a standard glossmeter but can be visually very different.

    One-way mirrors for upper-level observation deck viewing down into a classroom (University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire) A one-way mirror, also called two-way mirror [1] (or one-way glass, half-silvered mirror, and semi-transparent mirror), is a reciprocal mirror that appears reflective from one side and transparent from the other. The perception of ...

  9. Reflecting instrument - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflecting_instrument

    This used two frames held in parallel with spacers. The two frames were about a centimetre apart. This significantly increased the stiffness of the frame. An earlier version had a second frame that only covered the upper part of the instrument, securing the mirrors and telescope. Later versions used two full frames.
