Materials that exhibit very low stresses, very high stresses, or complex geometries and high stress gradients require quantitative measurement using visual or PC-based instruments known as polarimeters.

Coupled with the relative ease of polarizing and flipping low-energy neutrons, the inefficiency of MeV gamma polarimeters, and the difficulties of constructing large polarized targets with rapidly reversible polarizations, the two practical classes of neutron PV experiments are (1) PV neutron spin rotation and (2) PV gamma asymmetries.
