Polarizing Microscope

The Instrument:

Polarizing microscope is a specialized optical microscope used primarily in geology, mineralogy, chemistry and material science to study the optical properties of minerals and other birefringent materials. Although Polarizing microscope is more common in field like geology and materials science, it has several important applications in biological research too. The polarizing microscope ability to reveal optical anisotropy in material is utilized across diverse fields, enabling researchers to study their structural, compositional and optical properties in greater detail.
