A simple single-axis rotation apparatus
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2018
Summary
The apparatus enables a small crystal to be rotated through 360° about an axis parallel to the stage of a polarizing microscope, while immersed in a liquid of known refractive index. Angles of rotation are measured on a graduated drum to the nearest degree. The working distances separating the crystal from the objective and the condenser are sufficiently small for wide-angle interference figures to be obtained. The crystal is easily mounted and centred.
