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 reflection imaging surface consists of two methods: electroless silver plating and vacuum evaporation. The most commonly used is the electroless silver plating. In this method, silver nitrate is soluble in water, ammonia and sodium hydroxide solution and diluted into silver hydroxide ammonia salt, made of silver plating solution. The solution of conversion of sugar or formaldehyde and potassium sodium tartrate is used as a reducing solution. Glass by cutting, edge grinding (if necessary by grinding and polishing), surface cleaning, dilute solution sensitized with stannous chloride, then washed with silver plating solution and reducing liquid impregnation immediately after the formation of the mirror surface can then be washed, copper and protective paint. The vacuum evaporation method is to wash the glass and put it in the vacuum evaporation device of 0.1 ~ 10Pa. The high temperature generated by the spiral tungsten wire is used to vaporate the aluminum alloy in the spiral and form a mirror on the surface of the glass. The electron gun can also be used instead of tungsten wire for heating. The vacuum evaporation process can also process the smooth metal surface into a mirror. Family simple production plating O.5 square meters of mirror mirror, with 5 grams of silver nitrate, ammonia, sodium hydroxide (25%) and 10~15 ml of 2 grams, 1.3 grams of glucose, alcohol, 25 ml of a stannous chloride. To make a solution of silver nitrate is placed in a clean and no oil 500 ml glass, add 100 ml of distilled water, adding ammonia, while still mixing. At first, there was a grey precipitate; it continued to add ammonia to the precipitate to completely dissolve. After the solution is clarified, 2 grams of sodium hydroxide and 50 milliliters of water are dissolved into the solution and then cooled.
