TCPA is curved mirror that converts diverging light from a point of light source into parallel light.
By making the paraboloid a curved surface, it is possible to retrieve parallel light more efficiently than spherical concave mirror. It is used as a lamp reflector of the lamp house of the microscope as an example.
—¦It is obtained high performance condensing by precision aspheric surface processing.
—¦It can be used in a long-term stability because it is given a protective scratch-resistant coating over aluminum.
—¦It is easy to position the light source at the focusing point because there is a hole on the axis of the paraboloid.
—¦By entering the thick parallel light, it is available to collect the light on one point.
