Q

Uniaxial Indicatrix figure:

A

Indicatrix for a uniaxial substance is an ellipsoid of revolution; it is “elongated” or “prolate” when the optic sign is positive and “flatten” or “oblate” when it is negative.

Contains the principal section (contains optic axis), circular section is perpendicular to the principal axis and a random section which cuts through when the principal and circular intersect.

Q

Optic Normal (OP)

A

optic normal is vertical and the optic plane is horizontal and is seen when viewing down Y, which is the normal of the two axises (perpendicular to the optic plane)

31
Q

Sign of Elongation

A

when the crystal length is also the high index direction, SoE is positive
if the length is low index, low index = negative SoE

32
Q

Optic Angle

A

(2V, 2H, 2E); axial angles
2V (true optical axis of the crystal)
2H (optical axis angle in the oil)
2E (optical axis angle in the air)
(2E is always larger than 2V.)

33
Q

Tobi’s Method

A

(d/D); relationship between angular aperture (2E, 2H, 2V) and the linear diameters of the back focal plane of the objective.

34
Q

Spindle Stage or Goniometer

A

Rotation Device with a needle/thin object on the stage that holds a crystal in place.

35
Q

EXCALIBR

A

Uploads the points of extinction seen from a rotating crystal on the stage which later can be used for reference when identifying other materials.

36
Q

Monochromatic Interference Filter

A

Filters based on exploiting optical interference effects. Has a mirrored surface that makes destructive interference, eliminating everything except the wavelength of interest

37
Q

Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM)

A

A contrast technique in which the phase position of the non-diffracted light is shifted in relation to the diffracted wave fronts, thereby improving the constructive and destructive interference conditions (normally used for glass chips and semen)

38
Q

(“Hoffman”) Modulation Contrast

A

consists of a Modulator, Objective, condenser, and a Slit (Slit allows light to come in at oblique angle so one side of image is bright and the other is dark) Allows to make a 3D looking image of the specimen.

39
Q

Bright Field Microscopy

A

produces an image made from light that is transmitted through a specimen against a light background

40
Q

Dark Field Microscopy

A

shows the specimen against a dark background and provides good resolution

41
Q

Dispersion Staining (D.S.)

A

Differences between RIs dispersions of a particle and the liquid medium in which it is immersed in. The contrast technique that utilizes a central stop and an annual stop to produce colored particle boundaries, which can be used to help identify the sample

42
Q

Central-Stop D.S. & Annular Stop D.S.

A

Annular demonstrates colors consisting of a wavelength that is that of the wavelengh matched with the RI of both the particle and the medium. (where the two RIs match, that wavelength is what will be colored); central stop is just the color complementary to the annular stop.

43
Q

Differential Interference Contrast (DIC)

A

Used when a specimin has little to no constrast when viewed under brightfield microscopy. Can be used to generate an image that looks almost 3D. Not good to use with bifringent figures.
