[meteorite-list] LDG Schlieren spelling

[Impactika at aol.com]

OK, so the word is schlieren. Defined by Wikipedia as:

Schlieren (from German; singular "Schliere") are optical inhomogeneities in 
transparent material not visible to the human eye. Schlieren physics 
developed out of the need to produce high-quality lenses void of these 
inhomogeneities. These inhomogeneities are localized differences in optical path length 
that cause light deviation. This light deviation is converted to shadow in 
a schlieren system.

But,.............
I don't see how that relates to meteoritic dust imbedded in Libyan Desert 
Glass. 
 
Anybody??
