You ***won't*** see dust on the mirror.. It's too far away from the focusing screen for the eyepeice to focus on.. Same goes for dust on the lens.

Any dust you can see clearly in the viewfinder will be on the focus screen..

Which means I can see it but it won't show on pictures????

The mirror is just a freakin' mirror that lets you see thru the lens. It not really that sensitive piece of a component in your camera.. Nothing like the sensor, something that you'd want to have minimum contact with..

I actually thought that the mirror is the easiest to damage not just because by touching it you can put it out of alignment, but because I thought that the reflective material is on the front of the mirror as opposed to being behind glass which would protect it. I was taught to never touch the mirror, but I cleaned the focus screen on my old OM-1 many times.
