Polarized Light Microscopy
Examination of Birefringent Objects
Polarized light microscopy is used to detect birefringence within microscopically small structures (e.g. mineral grains, textile fibers, polymers, parts of plants/ animals etc.). This makes a discrimination and characterization of objects possible and allows for conclusions about the molecular or atomic built- up of such birefringent objects.

Description |
Moreover, with this sensitive method the impact of external parameters (temperature, pressure etc.) on transparent, birefringent objects/ raw material becomes possible to investigate. You will learn, how to optimally make use of your polarization microscope. You will learn, how to interpret the images properly. |
