Abstract

In forensic science laboratories it is frequently necessary to compare properties of glass fragments. The forensic scientist is asked to determine if a glass fragment came from a certain automobile headlight, from a certain window, and so forth. The comparison of glass fragments by means of several physical methods is a routine operation in forensic science applications.
