Mirror, Ellipsoidal
F/3.5 Diamond Turned
Maintenance and replacement:
- Minimize direct contact: Ellipsoidal mirrors are delicate, and direct contact should be avoided as much as possible to prevent scratches, fingerprints, or other damage.
- Handle carefully: Always handle the mirror by its edges to avoid introducing oil or dirt from your hands onto the reflective surface. Use gloves when handling optical components to minimize contamination.
- Check for scratches and degradation: Regularly inspect the mirror for scratches, chips, or surface degradation, especially if you notice a decrease in instrument performance or light intensity. Surface imperfections can scatter light and reduce the mirror's efficiency.
- Avoid harsh chemicals: Keep the mirror away from corrosive or volatile chemicals, which could damage its reflective coating or lead to degradation.
