Summary
Using carefully prepared material with adequate magnification under conditions securing the optimum visibility, photographs exhibiting the lamellar structure of plate glass and the associated birefringence have been secured which exhibit far more detail than previously. The visibility of the structure is closely related to the diffraction phenomena to which it gives rise. The latter are described and discussed in detail.
