The optical design of the LC-PolScope builds on the traditional
polarizing microscope, introducing two essential modifications: the specimen is illuminated with nearly circularly polarized light, and a universal compensator replaces the traditional compensator (Fig.
I did so by buying a good text by Bloss (1967) and studying the theory and practice of using a
polarizing microscope from cover to cover.
discoideum by using a centrifuge
polarizing microscope (CPM) equipped with DIC optics (5).
We explored the polarized organization in maturing oocytes of Chaetopterus pergamentaceous using a centrifuge
polarizing microscope (CPM).
One of us (RO) has improved upon conventional design by developing a new type of
polarizing microscope (pol-scope), which can measure the retardance due to specimen anisotropy irrespective of orientation.
