Inc., Harper & Brothers, New York, N. Fig. 102, p. 614.) When placed on the stage of the polarizing microscope and rotated between crossed polarizer and analyzer, a birefrigent object shows vary- ing degrees of brightness and darkness depending on the poshion of its axis with respect to those of the analyzer (Figure 11-25). This is the usual test for birefrigence of an object. Brightness of the object is at a maximum when its axes make a ±45° angle with those of the polarizer and analyzer (Figure 11-25). Because the axes of the object are not in line with those of the analyzer, neither of the two polarized components 244 / CHAPTER 11
