Re: Polarized Pine Root c.s Stack
Pretty cool. Never used polarized light on plant material.
Re: Polarized Pine Root c.s Stack
Interesting! There appears to be very distinct birefringence in those tubules!
Are you using plastic polaroid film for this? I'm curious how it looks if you simply sandwich the slide between two crossed pieces. I've gotten some surprisingly sharp results doing that at lower magnifications but haven't tried on an SPlanApo.

Re: Polarized Pine Root c.s Stack
I've used 3D cinema glasses with the analyzer being placed onto a little recess inside the dovetail behind the rear glass element of the objective.
Re: Polarized Pine Root c.s Stack
Though this placement of the cross polar does reduce the sharpness by a bit, I may place the analyzer directly on the specimen for my next attempt.
