Inverse polarization microscope for analysis of weak double refraction of biological objects, has light source, polarizer and condenser in transmitted light illumination beam path, where compensator is arranged in sub-parallel position

摘要

The inverse polarization microscope (1) comprises a light source (2), a polarizer (4) and a condenser (5) in a transmitted light illumination beam path (3). A compensator (10) is arranged in a sub-parallel position and has a path difference between 500 nanometers and 600 nanometers. The double refraction provides the biological objects with a color change in the microscopic mage compared to its surroundings.
