POLARIZING MICROSCOPE
MAKE DINESH SCIENTIFIC
DESCRIPTION:
A polarizing microscope that uses transmitted light illumination is a type of specialized optical microscope used for examining and studying materials with particular optical characteristics. Here’s a thorough explanation:
COMPONENTS AND FEATURES
LIGHT SOURCE:
A strong light source placed beneath the stage to illuminate the sample from below, usually a halogen or LED lamp (transmitted light).
POLARIZERS:
Polarizer: This device, which is positioned beneath the sample, polarizes light before it enters the sample.
The analyzer is positioned above the sample, typically within the optical path, and is designed to measure variations in the polarization state of the light as it leaves the sample.
STAGE:
A revolving stage that rotates the sample with relation to the direction of polarized light facilitates the analysis of the sample’s anisotropic characteristics.
CONDENSER:
A specialized condenser, often equipped with a polarizer, to focus light onto the sample evenly.
COMPENSATORS AND RETARDATION PLATES:
Optional accessories used to quantify the optical path difference in birefringent materials. Common types include the quarter-wave plate and the full-wave (first-order red) plate.
