An optical microscope called a petrographic microscope is used in optical mineralogy and petrology to identify rocks and minerals in thin sections. The field of petrology known as optical mineralogy and petrography, which focuses on providing in-depth descriptions of rocks, makes use of the microscope. It is known as “polarized light microscopy” (PLM).
Optically sound components are used in the construction of petrographic microscopes so that undesirable polarizing effects from strained glass or reflection polarization in prisms and mirrors are not added. The microscope is more expensive and sophisticated because of these unique components.
However, it is simple to create a “simple polarizing” microscope by adding cheap polarizing filters to a regular biological microscope. Typically, one filter is placed in a holder beneath the condenser and the other is inserted beneath the head or eyepiece. Many non-quantitative uses can be satisfied with them.
The polarizing planes of the two Nicol prisms, often known as “Nicolls,” of the petrographic microscope are perpendicular to one another. The majority of crystalline materials and minerals change the polarizing light directions, allowing part of the altered light to get through the analyzer to the observer.
When just an isotropic substance, such as air, water, or glass, exists between the filters, all light is blocked.
One polarizer enables for viewing the slide in plane polarized light, while two allow for cross-polarized light examination. Conoscopic interference patterns (or interference figures), which are typical of uniaxial and biaxial minerals, are formed on the upper lens surface of the objectives using convergent polarized light.
True petrographic microscopes typically come with a Bertrand lens accessory that enlarges and focuses the interference figure so that it may be seen. To conduct a direct view of the objective lens surface, it is also possible to remove an eyepiece lens.
