The mirrors have been fabricated with diameters of 300 and 760 millimetres and each mirror is based on a convex-shaped sheet of PLEXIGLAS XT HQ that was mirror coated using a process called DuraVisionTM.
To make sure the mirrors look perfectly round, a shiny aluminium profile was fitted flush with the edges. Each mirror fabricated to look perfectly clear and give the sphere a uniform convexity.
PLEXIGLAS was the ideal material for this purpose because it is easy to form, has excellent optical properties, is UV stable. It has a smooth surface. All of these factors are important for making high quality mirrors.
