Notes on skiodroms and isogyres
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2018
Extract
Professor Becke's paper on skiodroms marks an important advance in our knowledge of the shadows, or isogyres, which are seen when sections of crystals are examined in convergent polarized light. The isogyres can also be advantageously studied in mineral grains, where the irregular shape disturbs the distribution of the interference colours, but has much less effect on the shadows due to the coincidence of directions of vibration in the crystal with those of one of the nicols.
