ˇ The MAGIC Collab oration is starting to operate the Cerenkov telescope with the largest reflecting surface, in order to lower the energy threshold well ˇ below 100 GeV. The MAGIC (Ma jor Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cerenkov) telescope has a 17 m diameter parab olic surface F/1, consisting of 956 spherical aluminium mirrors (50 × 50 cm2 each). In this contribution, we describe the technology adopted to produce metallic mirrors and the methods used to measure the optical quality in terms of: reflectivity, radius of curvature, spot dimension and geometry.
