Where to Buy First Surface Mirrors
Before You Buy: Learn About First Surface Mirrors
First surface mirrors (or front surface mirrors) have their reflecting coating on the front surface. This design avoids various disadvantages of second surface mirrors, such as ghost images and reduced reflectivity. However, it also makes them more sensitive to damage. There are protected and enhanced versions with additional thin coatings to improve durability and performance across different wavelengths.
