Polarized light experiments. 19th-century artwork of results from physics experiments involving six sets of polarised light patterns produced using tourmaline crystals. This artwork is from volume 1 of the 1847 edition of 'Pouillet's Lehrbuch der Physik und Meteorologie' by German physicist Johann Heinrich Jacob Muller (1809-1875), based on an earlier work by French physicist Claude Servais Mathias Pouillet (1790-1868).
