IF-587: Ground Glass Plates
Ground glass is thin plate glass, the surface of which has been physically ground or acid-etched to create a grainy, grayish, opaque surface. Use it to produce an image from a lens or lens system. Even a sipmle magnifier, held betwteen the ground glass and, say, a window, will produce an image of the window scene on the ground glass. Ground glass has another magical property; it is opaque to any object viewed at a distance, but not if that object is in direct contact with the glass surface. A necessary element for your optical tool box 50 mm sq x .75 mm thick. Set of 2.
