The Properties of Optical Glass

Der erste Band aus der Schott-Reihe beschreibt die Eigenschaften optischer Gläser und weiterer Sondergläser. Die einzelnen Kapitel wurden von verschiedenen Autoren verfasst, die auf dem jeweiligen Gebiet in Forschung und Entwicklung selbst tätig ind. Das Buch eignet sich vor allem für Ingenieure und Wissenschaftler, die für ihre Arbeit Informationen über spezielle Glastypen benötigen.

In this series experts from the world's leading producers of special glass, Schott Glaswerke Mainz, describe the wide variety of glasses and their applications. The volumes are intended above all for experts in industrial research and development. But as a source of information it is just as valuable for scientists in universities and specialized institutes as well as for libraries.
