Abstract

The instrument is designed for the study and measurement of the optical characters of crystals and anisotropic materials. The conoscopic phenomena, over a wide area for any selected orientation of the specimen, may be brought into view on a hemispherical screen, without the use of a microscope or lens system. The parts of the interference figure retain their true angular relationships, directly displaying for observation or measurement values of 2V for any angular separation of the optic axes.
