Can an image formed by a plane mirror be obtained on screen?

The image formed by a plane mirror is always virtual, which can never be captured or obtained on a screen, and appears to be on the opposite side as that of the mirror.

The virtual images form when the light rays appear to meet at a definite point, after reflection from the mirror.

It is used in kaleidoscopes, shaving mirrors, dentists' mirror, torch lights, etc.
