| Schott and other optics companies have developed ranges of lead- and cadmium-free glass, such as the components shown here. But there are some applications - notably the filters and lenses used in fluorescence microscopes - where the "green" equivalents simply do not provide the required optical characteristics. Without lead glasses, the development of medical applications using fluorescence microscopy would effectively be halted. Credit: Schott. |
