Low-iron glass is soda-lime glass with the iron content stripped down. That single change is the whole story — but it has a visible effect on color and a measurable effect on light transmission, which is why the two aren't interchangeable in every application.

That difference decides which one is the right choice for a given application. Key Comparison Property Anti-Reflective (AR)...

Verwendet man jedoch Quarzglas, dringt UV-Strahlung ungehindert hindurch. Beide Materialien sind für das Auge transparent, basieren auf Siliziumdioxid und sehen im Labor nahezu identisch aus. Warum also blockiert das eine Material ultraviolette...
