I'm really looking forward to this visit.

I'll probably spend the day after up in the Lake District as well, and I'm happy to give a couple of people a lift up there if anyone visiting from overseas wants a look around.

Hi Simon - I'd like to hear more about the glass coating. Is this glass negs or some other product?

[Simon R Galley]

We coat various emulsions on glass for scientific applications, such as mass spectometry :

Have sent my email, as a second time visitor in a way I hope there is no room for me but I will be very envious if I cannot go.

Regards Paul.

I'm just hoping I get asked to visit our head office in Vienna around that time, and then I would be able to come.
