Solarization

Hi Alan,

I’m sending an article Brad Turner and I wrote about “solarization” of glass for the American Scientific Glassblowers Society’s journal, Fusion, May 2007. It gives an overview of the ways ultraviolet light interacts with certain glasses. I thought you might find it useful for the Gazelle Gazette Issue #2223 discussion.

Best wishes,

Beth
