Glass Model
F.
Krantz glass model (ca. 1900?)
Glass model of a monoclinic crystal (ca. 20 cm) from a
series.
A small glued label indicates: "I | Dr. F. Krantz | Bonn
a. Rh."
Internal silk threads materialize the crystallographic
axes and illustrate with the corresponding colours the
dispersion of the optic axes and of the acute bisectrix
for blue, yellow and red light.
