Les cristaux anisotropes accusent, pour chaque lamelle, deux indices de réfraction correspondant aux deux rayons. Si on trace, suivant les directions de vibrations des deux rayons, deux droites proportionnelles à leurs indices de réfraction, on constate que ces droites délimitent un ellipsoïde appelé «ellipsoïde des indices». 1, record 1, French, - ellipso%C3%AFde%20des%20indices

La restitution paléogéographique détaillée s’appuie sur quatre types de critères :-les «attributs» [...];-les «propriétés scalaires» [...] les «propriétés directionnelles» [...]; les «propriétés tensorielles» correspondent à des directions qui ne prennent leur valeur que dans un trièdre de référence à l'image de l'ellipsoïde des tensions en analyse tectonique ou de l'ellipsoïde des indices en analyse cristallographique. Les valeurs de la perméabilité, du coefficient diélectrique, de la susceptibilité magnétique relèvent de cette catégorie. 1, record 2, French, - propri%C3%A9t%C3%A9%20tensorielle
