*****************************************************************************

Please excuse cross posting.

        I am exploring the use of a mirror to reflect an exhibit that
may be to high for young children and wheel chair users to see
easily. It is a diffusion cloud chamber 4 9 inches high; about 10
inches too high. I have thought of digging a hole, building a ramp
and use of a video camera. All  have significant draw backs.

        Has anyone experience with use of mirrors in this situation?
Any recommended sources? I am looking for one 32 inches on edge.
Mounting and any other considerations?

Cheers,

Martin
