Question

What are the properties of glass in relation to microscopy?

Answer 1

Answer: When a glass is broken, some of the resulting fragments will retain an original surface. Light microscopy can be used to identify these surfaces and to examine surface features characteristic of the type and origin of the glass. The techniques employed are specular reflection, fluorescence, Nomarski differential interference contrast microscopy and interferometry using a Hartley objective.

Answer 2

Answer:

Following are the properties and characteristics of the glass.

Hardness and Brittleness. It is a hard material as it has great impact resistance against applied load.

• Weather Resistance.
• Insulation.
• Chemical Resistance.
• Colour and Shape Varieties.
• Transparency.
• Fire Resistant Glazing.
• Property Modification.
