Mirror  

Definition

  • 1. A mirror symmetry operation is an imaginary operation that can be performed to reproduce an object. The operation is done by imagining that you cut the object in half, then place a mirror next to one of the halves of the object along the cut. If the reflection in the mirror reproduces the other half of the object, then the object is said to have mirror symmetry. (https://www2.tulane.edu/~sanelson/eens211/introsymmetry.htm)
