See unique reflection and image formation with a giant concave mirror
The Concave Mega Mirror is an extra-large, parabolic mirror designed to make optics demonstrations bold, visual, and unforgettable. With a 24" diameter aluminized surface and included slotted stand, this concave mirror allows the entire class to clearly observe image formation, focal points, and reflection principles—all from across the room.

Demonstrations & How the Concave Mega Mirror Works
- Explore concave mirror properties: Show real images, focal points, and image inversion clearly.
- Classic “floating image” demo:
- Place an object upside down just beyond the focal point.
- A real image appears to form in front of the mirror.
- Position a screen and platform where the image forms—when viewed along the principal axis, the object appears to stand on the platform.
- Move off-axis and the illusion disappears, prompting great discussion about image formation and viewing angles.
- Discussion-driven learning: Students naturally question why the image behaves as it does, reinforcing core optics concepts.
Please note: The focal length of the Mega Mirror is too short for Schlieren photography. The Concave Mega Mirror is concave only and is part of the Mega Mirror system.
