Customer comments
Our standard cells are custom designed with supports optimized
to each individual mirror's specifications. This contruction
approach minimizes stresses in the glass which may distort and
degrade the image.
We are now also offering a specialized retraining method that
replaces normal mirror clip overhangs with a retaining ring,
inset in the innner edge of the side supports. This serves three
purposes: 1) eliminating defraction from angular intrustion
over the mirror surface and providing a perfect circle. 2) Covering
up any turned down edge (TDE) resulting in a sharp image. 3)
An opening too small for the mirror accidentally slip out. The
retaining ring is a choice you can select for a nominal cost.
6" mirror cells have felt pads at the three calculated
support positions. 8"-13.1" mirror cells have
six-point calculated supports. Kits arrive rough sanded with
all parts. You fine sand, paint wood parts. Assembly is easy.
Finished cells arrive painted, assembled and ready to use.
