Metals are not an easy materials to polish, or to obtain extreme optical specifications with.

By using advanced chemical polishing techniques, and the latest test equipment LBP have reached the physical limits possible with many metals such as copper, aluminium, and semiconductors materials such as silicon.

Specifications vary with the size of mirror, but can be confirmed at point of order. Many mirrors are made to customer drawings when the agreed specifications will be met.

By using typical specifications wherever possible parts will be the most cost effective.
