A polarised light microscope for Life Science applications is an standard optical microscope that is equipped with a circular 360° rotating stage, strain free objectives, a polariser to generate polarised light and a second polariser - called the "analyzer" to the light path between objective and eyepiece
Steady advances made over the past few years have enabled biologists to study the birefringent character of many anisotropic sub-cellular assemblies. Today, more and more biologist uses polarised light microscope for their investigation
