polarization microscope retardance

Summary

Polarization microscopy can be used to measure retardance in biological structures, as the first order retardation plate is a standard accessory for determining the optical sign of a birefringent specimen. 1 Recent research has also developed interferometry-based systems for birefringence measurements in biological samples. 2 Polarization interference microscopy can also be used to map birefringence distribution within an anisotropic sample. 2 Furthermore, polarization holographic imaging at ultraviolet (UV) or infrared (IR) wavelengths can be used to realize molecular-specific polarization holographic imaging. 2

Summary The first order retardation plate is a standard accessory that is frequently utilized to determine the optical sign (positive or negative) of a birefringent specimen in polarized light microscopy. In addition, the retardation plate is also useful for enhancing contrast in weakly birefringent specimens.
