FOCUS ON THE SPECIMEN

Illustration 032 H: Settings for phase contrast: Final check and observation.

After removing or replacing a thick specimen, the bright ring and the dark

ring are likely to deviate each other, which will result in a decline of the image

contrast. So if happened, please repeat the steps as above.

If the specimen is not flat, it maybe need to repeat the centering steps for ob-

taining greater effect. Use the phase contrast objective to center the diaphragm,

according to the sequence of low to high magnification.

5.3. Polarization observation

5.3.1. Overview

polarization microscopy

, optically active or birefringent specimen structures can be

highlighted. For this purpose, the object to be examined is microscoped between two polarizing

filters. This leads to the formation of different color rings or to the illumination of the structures.
Minerals, but also many plastics or natural materials such as starch etc. show this effect. It is less

known that interesting structures can also be highlighted in living organisms, e.g. muscle fibers of

daphnia or rotifers. In industry, polarization is mainly used to characterize materials. If the layer

thickness of the sample is known, the resulting interference colors can also be used to determine

the type of material. In materials research, polarization is also used, for example, to investigate

tension in the material by stress birefringence. Especially injection moulded parts or plastic foils or

fibres can be examined for manufacturing defects. The classical application is of course geology

/ mineralogy, in which thin sections of rock are examined in polarized light. Due to the spectral

distribution, halogen illumination is more suitable than LED in polarization microscopy.
