Polissage d'un verre TeX à l'aide d'une pâte abrasive. Le verre TeX appartient à la famille des chalcogénures et est composé de tellure, d'arsenic et de sélénium. Il présente la particularité d'être transparent aux rayons infrarouges et suscite par conséquent un grand intérêt dans le cadre de travaux menés sur les lasers à verre et les fibres optiques.
