    Interesting Facts about Glass: Fragile Grandeur


    The glass masters father and son Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka from 1863 to 1936 created for the museums of the whole world several thousand (!) stunningly realistic models of plants and animals, including the famous glass flower series in the Harvard Museum of Natural History.

    They modestly called themselves "artisans in the service of natural history." But their work is rightly considered "an artistic miracle in the field of science and a scientific miracle in the field of art."

    One of the specialized products of the glass industry are Klinger glass. It was developed at the end of the XIX century and is in demand up to the present. The main purpose of the product is to provide control of the fluid level. That is why it is often called water-indicating glass.

    Klinger's glass is named after the German engineer (Richard Klinger). It was he who invented the corrugated water-indicating glass and founded the company for its production. Klinger's invention was based on such a phenomenon as the total internal reflection of light in the corrugated glass. This principle is used to create modern liquid level indicators.

    One of the advantages of the products developed by Klinger is the high degree of user security. Glass products are made in such a way that if damaged, the fragments remain inside and do not fall outside. In addition, water-indicating devices are reliably sealed.
