A device, which in the transmission of electro-magnetic radiation, confines the vibration of the electric and magnetic field vectors to one plane
A first polarizing element inserted before a preparation When its vibration direction is at right angles to the vibration direction of the analyzer, the field becomes black if no anisotropic specimen is on the stage or when viewing an anisotropic substance in an extinction position or directly down an optic axis of an anisotropic crystal (See analyzer) positive eyepiece see eyepiece, positive
It is usually a reflecting plate, or a plate of some crystal, as tourmaline, or a doubly refracting crystal
That which polarizes; especially, the part of a polariscope which receives and polarizes the light
{i} something that creates polarity, something that causes an item to have varying characteristics at different points; part of a polariscope that receives and polarizes the light (also polariser)
is a type of filter which reduces glare by intercepting reflected light from surfaces like water , glass etc
A device (or film) into which ordinary light passes and from which polarized light emerges
