Convex Mirrors Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-SLE-5808
Jlab Export is a leading Convex Mirrors Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Convex Mirrors (code EL-SLE-5808) are cylindrical convex mirrors made of stainless steel, listed at 75 × 150 mm, used in school and college optics lessons to show how a surface that bulges outwards reflects light and forms images. Because the mirror curves in one direction only, it works well with a ray box on a sheet of paper. They are made by Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) at its works in Ambala, India.

How Does It Compare with Other JLab Convex Mirrors?
| Mirror | Shape | Material and finish |
|---|---|---|
| Convex Mirrors (EL-SLE-5808) | Cylindrical — curved in one direction | Stainless steel; listed at 75 × 150 mm |
| Convex Mirror | Convex, ordered by focal length | Optically worked glass with a protective silver coating at the back |
| Convex Mirror (Vacuum Type) | Spherical, offered in several focal lengths | Optically worked glass, silver coated at the back, smooth edges |
Choose the stainless-steel cylindrical mirror for ray-tracing on paper with a ray box and for handling by younger students, since metal does not shatter. Choose a spherical glass mirror when the experiment needs a stated focal length, such as finding the focal length of a convex mirror on an optical bench.
What Are Cylindrical Convex Mirrors Used For?
A convex mirror makes parallel rays spread out after reflection, as if they came from a focus behind the mirror, and the image it forms is always virtual, upright and smaller than the object — the reason convex mirrors are used as rear-view and road-safety mirrors. Stood upright on a sheet of paper in front of a ray box, this cylindrical mirror lets students draw the incoming and reflected rays and mark where the reflected rays seem to meet. Looking into it, they see an upright image narrowed across the curve, which makes the effect of curvature easy to discuss. These activities support the class 10 chapter on light, junior science lessons on curved mirrors, and introductory college optics.
Stainless steel reflects from its polished front surface, so there is no glass layer and no faint second image. Wipe it with a soft dry cloth, keep it away from abrasive cleaners, and store it so the reflecting face is not scratched.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are these convex mirrors used for?
They show how a convex surface reflects light: rays spread out after reflection, and the image is virtual, upright and diminished. Used with a ray box, they let students trace the reflected rays on paper.
What is the size and material?
They are stainless steel, listed at 75 × 150 mm. The listing does not say which figure is the curved width and which the height, so confirm the measurement with JLab if it matters for your apparatus.
Why choose a cylindrical mirror instead of a spherical one?
A cylindrical mirror curves in one direction only, so rays from a ray box travelling flat across a sheet of paper all meet the same curve — ideal for drawing ray diagrams. A spherical mirror is needed for focal-length experiments on an optical bench.
Is the stainless-steel mirror safer than glass for students?
It cannot shatter like glass, which helps with younger classes. Its polished face can still be scratched, so it should be cleaned with a soft cloth only.
Who manufactures these convex mirrors?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, trading as JLab, makes them at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India, and quotes for them directly.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a manufacturer of physics and school laboratory equipment in India, incorporated in 2017 with premises on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. These mirrors come from JLab’s own works, not from a trader, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers order straight from the maker, each mirror is inspected visually before it is packed, and repeat orders are made to the same pattern. The company’s CIN is U29309HR2017PTC069123, and it holds MSME Udyam registration UDYAM-HR-01-0003849 (manufacturing enterprise). JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — for example Congo in Central Africa, Brazil in South America, Honduras in Central America and the Caribbean, Kazakhstan in Central Asia and Norway in Northern Europe. Tender details are on the JLab lab tenders page.
Mirrors and Ray Boxes for Optics Lessons
- Concave Mirror (Vacuum Type) — the converging partner mirror, for collecting and focusing light.
- Plane Mirror — a flat mirror for comparing plane and curved reflection.
- Ray Box (Metal) — produces single and multiple rays and parallel beams to aim at the mirror.
- Ray Box Kit — a light ray box with slits and accessories for ray work in optics lessons.
More optics lab equipment for schools is in the School Lab Equipment range.
