Abstract

[120.031]Most polarization microscopes can be adapted to circular polarization without the need for expensive accessories. In soil micromorphological studies it eliminates the extinction phenomena caused by anusotropic compounds in thin sections, which is advantageous for direct observations, quantitative analyses and for microphotographical purposes. The method is especially valuable when a large microscope stage is used, which prevents turning of the table or the crossed polarizers. (Abstract retrieved from CAB Abstracts by CABI’s permission)
