Popis: The Principal material used in optics is glass. Plastics can only gain acceptance in optics if they have properties not encountered with glass or if a desired article can be produced more rationally from a plastic. An example of the first case is provided by UV light guides consisting of a quartz glass core surrounded by a plastic cladding; there is no glass with a sufficiently low refractive index. Examples of the second case are viewfinder optics for cameras and lenses for sunglasses and industrial safety spectacles.
