Observation microscopique.- Les roches sont en général opaques. On peut les rendre transparentes en réalisant des lames minces de très faible épaisseur (2/100 de mm). [...] L'observation peut se faire en lumière naturelle ou en lumière polarisée. La propagation de la lumière s'accompagne de vibrations qui s'effectuent perpendiculairement au rayon lumineux. Lorsque les vibrations n'ont lieu que dans un seul plan, la lumière est dite polarisée. 2, record 5, French, - observation%20en%20lumi%C3%A8re%20polaris%C3%A9e

La technique microscopie à lumière polarisée est basée sur la propriété que possèdent des composants anisotropes ou biréfringents d'un échantillon à modifier la phase de la lumière polarisée. Les substances ayant une structure moléculaire cristalline ou laminaire, ou bien contenant des arrangements réguliers de bâtonnets submicroscopiques peuvent modifier de façon différentielle la vitesse de deux rayons de lumière polarisée vibrant dans des plans perpendiculaires. Cela produit un phénomène de biréfringence ressortant en blanc su fond noir. 1, record 6, French, - microscopie%20%C3%A0%20lumi%C3%A8re%20polaris%C3%A9e
