Hi,
I would like to find easy to follow procedures with the simplest slides for example, and/or calibration targets to test a Bertrand lens set up for petrographic usage.
I have a granite thin section slide, polarizers, DIC, but none of the well known compensators. What do people in the field use as the simplest set up? What would be a good test? Could one for example focus on a polarized optic filter set up in some particular way and get some interesting Fourier patterns? What's a good reproducible test?
Any other usages for the same set up, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Bertrand Lens
Here you can discuss different microscopic techniques and illumination methods, such as Brightfield, Darkfield, Phase Contrast, DIC, Oblique illumination, etc.
