Dichroic Glass
Dichroic glass, developed in the 1950’s and 1960’s by NASA, the Department of Defense and their contractors, is a technology wherein extremely thin films of metal are vacuum deposited on a glass surface. The coated glass shields sensitive spacecraft instruments from the harmful effects of cosmic radiation and protects human vision from the harsh glare of unfiltered sunlight in space and is now being used as a high technology art form.
