Welcome to the IMI’s first Glass Science
& Technology Training Module on
Optical and Photonics Glasses
Delivered by Dr. Rui Almeida for the
International Materials Institute for New Functionality in Glass
At Lehigh University
Spring 2005
Each unit has both a Real media audio-video presentation and a
printable set of slides in pdf format. You will need
RealPlayer to view the presentation (download)
and some students will prefer to print a hard copy of the slides prior to
viewing.
