Description:
A closed oval apparatus that has s concave front surfaced spherical mirrors on the top and bottom. An object placed inside the apparatus will look like it is floating at hole on the top surface of the apparatus. The two mirrors create a real image at the top. You can put your finger and see there is object actually there. Be careful with mirrors . They can become easily scratched. Do not try and clean them by wiping with a paper towel..
