Telescope mirror blanks
Below you find the list of telescope mirror blanks that Huygens Optics has in stock. Prices are reduced since the stock is currently being phased out.
As indicated, most blanks are made of either Schott Borofloat or Schott Supremax. Both materials are a low expansion borosilicate glass with very low stress levels.
An advantage of Borofloat over Supremax is that the surface is much smoother and generally more flat than that of Supremax. Thus it requires less grinding to create a flat surface.
For more information on surface roughness an flatness of Borofloat and Supremax, see the specs sheets of these materials: Borofloat-33 and Supremax.
In addition, some blanks are mare of Pyrex glass, which is generally cast into a disk shaped mold.
