Abstract

Abstract For 400 years, telescopes and microscopes have provided us with access to distant and tiny worlds. We note significant moments in the evolution of the glass used in both devices from their first appearance until the present, relate those moments to key discoveries, and reflect about what it means to extend our sense of vision using glass, the eye of science.
