Product Code : SCL-LAO-12063
Curved Mirror Effects Model (SKU SCL-LAO-12063) is a demonstration model with a concave and a convex mirror surface on one rotating assembly, mounted on a weighted ABS base with metric markings. Students use it to see how real and virtual images form, trace rays to the focus and compare converging with diverging mirrors in school and introductory college optics. Science Lab Supplies manufactures this model in Saha, Ambala, India, at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, and offers it straight to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Each specification of the concave–convex mirror model is set out in the table. In short, the reflecting surfaces are vacuum-metallised optical acrylic, which avoids the breakage risk of glass, and they rotate on a 300 x 150 x 25 mm moulded ABS base supplied with three high-contrast object markers.

Applications and Experiments for the Curved Mirror Effects Model
The model turns textbook ray diagrams into something students can see: an object marker is placed at a measured distance, the image is located directly or on a screen, and the class notes whether it is real or virtual, upright or inverted. It suits Class 10 and Class 12 optics and first-year college labs.
- Class 10 light chapter: image formation by concave and convex mirrors for different object positions.
- Class 12 ray optics: verifying the mirror equation and magnification, with real images caught on a Laboratory White Viewing Screen.
- Tracing beams to the focal point and centre of curvature using a Ray Optics Laser Laboratory Kit as the light source.
- Undergraduate labs: recording object and image distances from the base markings for quantitative analysis.
Do not shine high-intensity lasers or focused halogen beams into the eyes. Wipe the acrylic only with a soft microfibre cloth and lift the model by its base.
Standard Scope of Supply
The kit comprises the concave/convex mirror assembly, the weighted ABS mounting base, three configurable object target markers and an experiment guide with complete ray-tracing templates. A light source or laser ray box and a viewing screen are not included and can be added to the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Ask for a single model for the teacher or a set for every group in an optics practical. The Science Lab Supplies quotation lists packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, and screens, ray boxes or separate mirrors can be priced alongside.
Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code, which means it can ship to buyers in Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh and Zambia. Ready to compare prices? Use the contact page for questions, the enquiry cart for a multi-item list, and the lab tender page for tenders.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Curved Mirror Effects Model use acrylic instead of glass?
Vacuum-metallised acrylic gives a clear reflection while being shatterproof, so students can handle and rotate the model in small groups without the breakage hazard of glass mirrors.
How do you change between the concave and convex surfaces?
The mirror assembly sits on a central swivel point or bracket. Rotate or flip it to present the concave or the convex face towards the object marker or light source.
Can it be used with laser ray boxes?
Yes. The mirror surfaces suit beams from standard multi-line laser ray boxes, so students can watch rays converge at the focus of the concave side and diverge from the convex side.
Who manufactures this mirror model?
Science Lab Supplies manufactures it in its Saha, Ambala plant in India. Schools and contractors therefore buy from the maker, and each quotation reflects factory pricing rather than a reseller’s.
