玻璃形成反射成像面的表面加工有化学镀银和真空蒸镀两种方法，最常用的是化学镀银法。这种方法是将硝酸银溶于水中，加氨水和氢氧化钠溶液并稀释成氢氧化银氨复盐，制成镀银液。以转化糖或甲醛、酒石酸钾钠溶液为还原液。玻璃经裁切、磨边（必要时还经研磨抛光）、表面洗净后，用氯化亚锡稀溶液敏化，然后洗净，再用镀银液和还原液混合立即浸注表面，镜面形成后洗净，随后可镀铜和涂防护漆。真空蒸镀法是将玻璃洗净，置于0.1～10Pa真空度的蒸镀装置中，将螺旋状钨丝通电，产生的高温使螺旋中铝合金蒸发成气态，沉积在玻璃表面形成镜面。亦可用电子枪代替钨丝加热。真空蒸镀法还可将光滑的金属表面加工成镜面。　　家庭简单制作镜子镀制O．5平方米的镜子，需用硝酸银5克、 　　氨水（25%）10～1 5毫升、氢氧化钠2克、葡萄糖1．3克、酒精25毫升、氯化亚锡少许。先配制甲溶液取硝酸银置于干净无油的500毫升玻璃杯中， 加100毫升蒸馏水溶解，滴加氨水，边加边拌。最初有灰色沉淀出现；继续加氨水至沉淀完全溶解。溶液澄清后将2克氢氧化钠加50毫升水溶角后倒入，冷却即可。 The surface processing of glass forming reflective surface has two methods of chemical silver plating and vacuum evaporation, the most commonly used is chemical plating method. The method is to dissolve silver nitrate in water, add ammonia water and sodium hydroxide solution and dilute it with ammonium hydroxide to make silver plating solution. Convert sugar or formaldehyde and potassium tartrate into liquid. Glass cutting, edge grinding (when necessary, also by the grinding and polishing), rinse the surface and using stannous chloride sensitization dilute solution, wash, and then mixing with silver plating liquid and also concentrate the antiseptic surface immediately, mirror wash, after the formation of can then copper plating and coating protective paint. Is to clean the glass vacuum vapor deposition method, under 0.1 ~ 10 pa vacuum evaporation device, the spiral tungsten electricity, the high temperature aluminum alloy in the spiral evaporates into gas, deposited on glass surface mirror. You can also use an electron gun instead of tungsten heating. The vacuum evaporation process can also process the smooth metal surface into a mirror. The family simple make the mirror to be plated O. 5 square meters of mirrors, 5 grams of silver nitrate, 10 ~ 1 5 ml of ammonia, 2 grams of sodium hydroxide and 1 glucose. 3 grams, 25 ml of alcohol, a little tin of chloride. First, a solution of a solution of a solution of silver nitrate is placed in a 500ml glass of clean oil without oil. Add 100ml of distilled water to dissolve, add ammonia water and add side and side. Initially, grey precipitates appear; Continue adding ammonia to the precipitation completely dissolved. After the solution is clarified, add the 2 grams of sodium hydroxide to 50ml water solution Angle and pour into the water to cool.
