The clear relevance of high-tech glass in beamsplitter glass.

The fact that television presenters rarely stumble in their presentation may be down to their eloquence – or the use of beamsplitter glass. After all, without this the teleprompter would never have been possible. The principle behind it is simple: a monitor is mounted beneath the camera lens and the mirror-image text that appears on it is reflected by a two-way mirror positioned in front of the lens. As this mirror is transparent, the presenter can read the text and look directly into the camera without the mirror affecting camera operation in any way.

Beamsplitter glass is also frequently used in these areas:

• In the laser industry
• In the photographic industry
• In the manufacture of medical devices
• In the microscope industry
• In interior design (to conceal cameras, monitors, LCD televisions, etc. Here, too, there are practically no limits to its use).
