Dispersion staining is performed on the same platform as the phase-polar analysis with the analyzer and compensator removed. One polarizing element remains to define the direction of the light so that the different indices of refraction of the fibers may be separately determined. 2, record 1, English, - dispersion%20staining

Le principe de la méthode consiste en premier lieu à faire un examen minutieux au stéréomicroscope à faible grossissement [...] afin de vérifier l'homogénéité de l'échantillon, de mettre en évidence les différentes composantes de l'échantillon et d’en estimer la teneur. Le montage des prélèvements dans des solutions d’indice de réfraction approprié permettra l'identification des substances par l'étude de leur morphologie et par l'observation de différentes propriétés optiques dont la dispersion colorante qui est efficace pour une caractérisation rapide de fibres d’amiante. 2, record 1, French, - dispersion%20colorante
