Dream Cellular's engineered designs don't look like anything you've ever seen because they aren't like any other mirrors. The level of engineering in these much more efficient 3D shapes is second to none in the world. One benefits of Dream's engineering is our ability to reduce print through to such small levels that the optics can be worked conventionally.

Because they can much more rapidly follow ever-changing ambient temperatures, they can allow higher quality at the focal plane, due to greatly reduced mirror seeing and tube currents.

Because of their low mass and high stiffness, Dream Cellular mirror blanks make it easier for telescope makers to maintain collimation all-sky.

All cellular blanks are designed, engineered, cast and annealed in-house at Dream Cellular, LLC. Let our expertise in cellular optics bring your product and company into the 21st century.
