Selected User Reviews For Acrylic Sphere/Plexiglass Ball - Transparent/Clear - 1-1/4" Diameter (Pack of 5)

In terms of optical quality, it is excellent

5/5

This kind of clear plastic ball is often used for decoration and craft purposes, but my goal was to find one that was perfectly clear and With an advanced optical system, you can use a spherical lens. In my application, these spheres worked very well because of their high polish, their packaging that prevents them from scratching each other, and their shipping.
