VI.—A Model for a Polarizing Microscope
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
Probably most teachers of petrology have experienced difficulty in making clear to some elementary students the manner in which light is transmitted through a polarizing microscope, and the explanation of birefringence and pleochroism. In such circumstances I have found very helpful the analogies illustrated by an easily constructed model. Doubtless such an instrument has been used before, but, as the textbooks make no mention of it, a description may be of use here.
