  9. Optical contact bonding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_contact_bonding

    Optical contact bonding. Gauge blocks wrung together and held horizontally. The blocks are held together solely by the adhesion of their extremely flat surfaces, which is so strong that it easily supports their weight. Optical contact bonding is a glueless process whereby two closely conformal surfaces are joined, being held purely by ...
