Company Description
We have over 60 years of experience as specialists in high vacuum coatings and processes, especially gold, aluminium, titanium (beam splitter/autocue), nichrome (neutral density) and magnesium fluoride anti-reflection coatings.  Our customers include advertising companies, architects, aerospace companies, film and television companies, professional photographers and astronomers.  We provide two-way and front-surface mirrors, telescopes and binoculars, custom photographic filters and autocue mirrors. We offer aluminising of scientific mirrors as well as re-coating of telescope, dental, holographic, printing and nautical mirrors. These are only a few of the products and services we offer; please see our website for more information.

Peppers Ghost Glasses

We supply Autocue, Prompt, Peppers Ghost Glasses and Front Surface Mirrors that are suitable for audio-visual projection, professional photography and reflex binocular mounts. There are no ''ghost'' double images present as the reflection emanates from the front face of the glass. 

Front surface mirrors are available in sizes up to 1.8 x 2.5 metres. Most orders for autocue glasses and mirrors are custom cut, but it may be possible to supply directly from stock. We offer standard sizes in 6 mm thick glass as well as 4 mm thick glass and 10 mm thick optically finished glass. 

We also offer a re-coating service for camera and sextant mirrors and prisms.

Aluminising & Optical Testing

We offer double aluminising and silicon over-coating services for Newtonian Flats and Circular Mirrors, as well as a re-coating service for camera mirrors and prisms.

For amateur astronomers who wish to ascertain the quality of an optical system or component, we offer an economical optical testing service for Newtonian Optical Flats and Primary Mirrors, including Object Glasses and Cassegrain systems. The results are provided as a suitability guide for the intended use purpose as well as a statement of comparison of actual optical quality against that of a ''perfect'' system.
