Hi all,
The polarizer-microscope in our facility is not working properly, and I have to check my plates using a standard stereo-microscope. As a workaround, I thought about buying one at Amazon, placing it on top of the plates and rotating it to still test for birefringence. The product is linked below. Does anyone have some experience with this kind of "homemade" system? And also (this might be a stupid question), does the product even work? As far as I know, the polarizers in the microscopes are linear polarizers, whereas the product linked below is a circular polarizer. I would also be happy for product recommendations (optimally available at the German Amazon).
