interesting mirror designs

interesting mirror designs __ Other types of reflecting device are also called "mirrors".

• Acoustic mirrors are passive devices used to reflect and perhaps to focus sound waves. Acoustic mirrors were used for selective detection of sound waves, especially during World War II. They were used for detection of enemy aircraft prior to the development ofradar. Acoustic mirrors are used for remote probing of the atmosphere; they can be used to form a narrow diffraction-limited beam.[49]They can also be used for underwater imaging.

• Active mirrors are mirrors that amplify the light they reflect. They are used to make disk lasers.[50] The amplification is typically over a narrow range of wavelengths, and requires an external source of power.

• Atomic mirrors are devices which reflect matter waves. Usually, atomic mirrors work at grazing incidence. Such mirrors can be used for atomic interferometry and atomic holography. It has been proposed that they can be used for non-destructive imaging systems withnanometer resolution.[51]

• Cold mirrors are dielectric mirrors that reflect the entire visible light spectrum, while efficiently transmitting infrared wavelengths. These are the converse of hot mirrors.

• Corner reflectors use three flat mirrors to reflect light back towards its source, they may also be implemented with prisms that reflect using total internal reflection that have no mirror surfaces. They are used for emergency location, and even laser ranging to the Moon.

• Hot mirrors reflect infrared light while allowing visible light to pass. These can be used to separate useful light from unneeded infrared to reduce heating of components in an optical device. They can also be used as dichroic beamsplitters. (Hot mirrors are the converse of cold mirrors.)

• Metallic reflectors are used to reflect infrared light (such as in space heaters or microwaves).

• Non-reversing mirrors are mirrors that provide a non-reversed image of their subjects.

• X-ray mirrors produce specular reflection of X-rays. All known types work only at angles near grazing incidence, and only a small fraction of the rays are reflected.[52] See also X-ray optics.

unique mirror wall art

unique mirror wall art __ Humans, it seems, have always been interested in their image, making crude mirrors of polished tin and other metals. Eventually, in Europe, glass was poured over polished metal to yield better forms of reflectors. During the medieval period, mirrors were considered a tool of the devil, as it was widely thought that Satan was watching from the other side. Glass mirrors disappeared, leaving people to check their appearance in bowls of water or a polished spoon.

As mirrors came back into fashion in the early 15th century, glassmaking and mirror making was burgeoning in Venice, Italy. Nestled among 117 sister islands in the canals of Venice, lies Murano, the birthplace of the famed Venetian Mirror. Murano, in the 15th century was known throughout Europe, for its high quality glassware, Venetian elegance, and beauty. Apart from the detailed craftsmanship of the artisans, the beauty of Venetian glass was attributed to the salt content of the ocean water used, the composition of the Italian silica, and the type of flame used for firing. It is said that the local hardwoods produced the perfect flame for producing exquisite glass pieces.

Venetian glass makers fiercely guarded their techniques, but eventually crafty artists from France and Germany infiltrated the artist’s society, returning home to practice their new skills. Still, Venetian glass and mirrors remained a coveted and valuable entity, and one of the most costly items one could own, a true status symbol.

Today, over 500 years later, Venetian mirrors are just as beautiful and stylish, adding a tough of elegance to any home. Venetian mirrors reflect light, and project a lovely Venetian atmosphere. When combined with Venetian furniture, jewel toned drapes and tapestries, and plastered walls, a well-placed Venetian mirror can transform one’s home into a Venetian Renaissance villa. Venetian mirrors can be found in a multitude of styles, from art deco in appearance to those appearing to have been plucked straight from a wealthy Medici Venetian style home in 15th century Italy

special mirror for bathroom

special mirror for bathroom __ The Venetian mirror has never lost its allure. These masterpieces were first produced in Venice at the beginning of the sixteenth century, and to this day beautiful Venetian glass mirrors continue to be lovingly made by jagomerah craft, for discerning clientele all over the world. A handful of small family run companies take pride in the production of these works of art and timeless elegance

Venetian MirrorVenetian MirrorSideboard JagoMerah mirrorVenetian MirrorSconceThe JagoMerahglass mirror’s worldwide reputation is rightly deserved, as until the Venetian glass masters discovered the secrets to producing perfectly smooth mirror panes, the world had to make do with mirrors no more than a few inches wide!Finally it was the JagoMerah glass masters who figured out how to would blow cylinders of crystal clear glass, which were then cut open and laid flat to cool.

These were known as “Quadri”, or squares seen here. This was only the beginning of a long and laborious process: The sheets of glass would them be transported to the mirror makers in Solo Indonesia, who would then spend weeks hand polishing the glass to a beautiful mirror finish, the quality and uniformity was unrivalled in the rest of the world.. Finally to give reflection tin foil was backed on to the glass using mercury. Dangerous mercury gave way to precious silver, the backing that is still used on today’s genuine JagoMerah glass mirrors.

Often the mirrors are adorned with beautiful hand made JagoMerah and the glass when engraved, is done so by master engravers using a diamond wheel.At Venetian Mirror Centre we are proud to offer you the worlds largest selection of authentic Murano glass mirrors and Venetian glass furniture.
