M. C. Filgueira: Pienso que se trata de una unidad q combina un espejo y uno o + filtros. Además, en ES no es correcto escribir "y/o" (calco de "and/or"); para traducir "and/or" basta con escribir "o", puesto q, a diferencia de lo q ocurre en EN, "o" abarca "y". Saludos.

-> Gracias, pensé bastante en esa pero no con tanta info, podría proponerse como opción, Saludos

agree

Daniel Grau: A María Claudia: El corpus de la RAE recoge un uso de "e o" en 1253. Más "recientemente", "y o" aparece desde 1536 en adelante. El primer "y/o" es de 1963 (un tal Cortázar).

-> Gracias Daniel, es dificil decidirse entre las dos formas, así queda menos estético pero más estricto (una de las dos o las dos), con "o"a algunos les puede parecer que cambiando una sola unidad es suficiente. Saludos.
