Term
What is being described?:
A bright line (due to refraction and/or diffraction) formed in the image at the boundary between media of different optical path lengths
Definition
Becke line
Term
What is being described?:
The qualitative expression of the maximum difference in RI due to double refraction (symbol n)
Definition
Birefringence
Term
What is being described?:
The microscopy of transparent objects which are in a mountain medium, the RI of which matches that of the object for a certain wavelength, but which has a distinctly higher dispersive power than the object. Under these conditions, both the object and the mounting medium appear coloured near their interfaces
Definition
Dispersion staining
Term
A method of illuminating objects in which an image of the source is projected by a collector into the plane of the aperture diaphragm in the front focal plane of the condenser. This latter, in turn, projects an image of an illuminated field diaphragm at the opening of the collector into the object plane.
