  Martin Heinrich Klaproth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Martin Heinrich Klaproth (December 1, 1743 – January 1, 1817) was a German chemist.
An exact and conscientious worker, he did much to improve and systematize the processes of analytical chemistry and mineralogy, and his appreciation of the value of quantitative methods led him to become one of the earliest adherents of the Lavoisierian doctrines outside France.
Klaproth crater, on the Moon, is named after him.

 uranium glass   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
In 1789 Martin Klaproth recognized Uranium as a chemical element and added it to glass as a colourant.
However it took 50 years for this to become common place and only occurred when glassmakers in Bohemia, seeking new colours for a competitive market started to use it.
The same colours can now be produced synthetically and very few pieces of uranium glass are made today.

During the early 19th century glass makers in Central Europe started to use uranium as a good way to make yellow and green glass.
In 1789 Martin Klaproth in Germany had first recognised uranium as a chemical element, and is said to have added it to glass as a colourant.
But it was 50 years later that glassmakers in Bohemia, seeking new colours in a highly competitive market for glass, started to use uranium.
