(21) Concave Mirrors and Convex Mirrors are coated on the front surface so they can redirect light. Thus making the optical systems more compact. The coating is extremely important because it adds strength against any and all environmental hazards. The mirror's substrate surface is flat and smooth.

(22) Enhanced aluminum is aluminum coated by a durable multilayer dielectric film which increases the relfectance up to 95% over a wide range of wavelengths. These mirrors are as strong and reliable as the protected aluminum mirrors, but with higher reflectance in the mid-visible region.
(29) Enhanced aluminum offers both an increased relflectance throughout the visible spectrum and increased protection due to the strength of the multilayer dielectric film.
(22) UV-Enhanced aluminum has an extra dielectric coating which prevents oxidation and keeps the reflectance of bare aluminum intact from the ultraviolet.
(25) Enhanced aluminum mirrors are overcaoted with an ultrviolet- transmitting dielectric which provides protection from abrasion and oxidation, while preserving the natural reflectance of aluminum.
(7) Protected silver mirrors present a high reflectance throughout the visible and near infared spectrum, offering an excellent durability factor. In order to prevent the silver from rapidly oxidizing and deteriorating, a proprietary overcoat and edge seal is added.
(8) Bare gold mirrors present a high reflectance throughout the near, middle and far infared creating a good tarnish resistance. Protected gold conglomerates the natural spectral performance of gold with the amplified protection of the durable hard dielectrics.

(4) Off axis paraboloidal reflectors are beneficial for a medley of operations in which diffraction limited actions are not necessary. Thus giving the user unrestricted access to the focal point and most of the surrounding area even without shadowing.
