Pair of Brass Parabolic Reflectors

Offered by: PAGODA RED

Description
In the 19th century, parabolic reflectors such as these were employed in scientific experiments to study the behavior of light, heat, and sound. These brass parabolic mirrors, when positioned face-to-face, were used to focus and direct energy from an emitting source placed at the center of one mirror to a recipient placed in front of the other. Adjustable features allowed for precise control over the tilt, distance, and height of each mirror, making them valuable tools for scientific research. Originally used in a laboratory setting, these parabolic mirrors demonstrate the ingenuity of early scientific apparatus. // Depth: 12.0"
