“…Detecting original or float surfaces is relatively straight-forward and a number of researchers (Lloyd, 1981;Locke & Zoro, 1983;Locke & Elliott, 1984;Elliot et al, 1985) have proposed and implemented quite reliable techniques for doing so. The float surface is enriched by tin oxide-which is part of the float glass manufacturing process.…”

When examining a sample of glass fragments recovered from a suspect in a forensic case, many questions arise: "Did this man break that window?", "Are these fragments from the crime scene source?", "Do the fragments recovered from the suspect come from more than one source?", "How common is it to find glass on someone unrelated with crime?" etc. Such questions are usually answered with the help of statistical methods. This paper reviews some of the statistical solutions and problems encountered in the interpretation and evaluation of forensic glass evidence.

“…Locke (467) has discussed the application of interferometry to the examination of glass particles. A novel tilting and transferable microscope stage was described which Was specifically designed for handling and examining irregularly shaped particles, to reduce subjectivity, a numerical criterion was devised to assess the curvature of glass particles and this was then applied to a survey of different types of glass (468).…”

“…However, it may be desirable in some cases to characterise the glass fragments further. Methods that have been suggested include examination of the surface of the glass to determine whether it is flat or curved [4,5], the examination of the elemental composition [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14], and the examination of the change in refractive index upon annealing [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23].…”
