OPERATION
Carl Zeiss Illumination and Contrasting Method Axio Scope.A1

A sample is bireflective when the sample details show differences in brightness and color which change
when the stage rotates.
For samples with low bireflexion we advise using the analyzer with Lambda plate, rotatable.
Pleochroism is present when the color of the sample changes as soon as the stage rotates (overhead
polarizer is turned on, analyzer is turned off).
