Friedrich Otto Schott (1851–1935) was a German chemist, glass technologist, and the inventor of borosilicate glass.Schott systematically investigated the relationship between the chemical composition of the glass and its properties.
In this way, he solved fundamental problems in glass properties, identifying compositions with optical properties that approach the theoretical limit.
Schott's findings were a major advance in the optics for microscopy and optical astronomy.His work has been described as "a watershed in the history of glass composition".
