Le microscope polarisant possède deux dispositifs polarisateurs taillés dans des rhomboèdres de calcite (prismes de Nicol, du nom de leur inventeur, ou encore nicols). L'un, fixe, est placé sous la platine (polariseur). La lumière qui traverse la lame mince est donc polarisée. L'autre (analyseur), situé entre l'objectif et l'oculaire, est amovible et disposé perpendiculairement au premier. 4, record 1, French, - polariseur
