Mirrors
Consisting of a reflecting surface that forms an image of an object when light rays coming from that object fall upon the surface, early mirrors were typically small devices made of polished metal and set in a hand held frame. Glass mirrors arrived during the middle ages and were created by coating one side with a mixture of tin and mercury. Silver was substituted as the backing of choice by the mid 19th century and today aluminum is used as the reflective qualities are nearly that of silver yet resists the oxidation that can tarnish a silver backed mirror.
