Across
- 3. a microscope containing two separate optical paths, one for each eye, giving a three-dimensional view of a specimen
- 4. a term that describes a scale pattern in which the scales overlap and the edges have an irregular wavy pattern; this pattern is typical of human hair
- 5. emitted or observed light in which the electric field vibrates in one direction in a single plane
- 7. the property of exhibiting different colors, especially two different colors, when viewed along different axes by plane polarized light
- 9. the deflection from a straight path undergone by a light ray in passing obliquely from one medium (as air) into another (as glass) in which its velocity is different
- 10. a characteristic of an object in which the refractive index remains constant irrespective of the direction of propagation or vibration of the light through the object
- 11. a chart relating thickness, birefringence, and retardation so that any one of these variables can be determined when the other two are known
- 12. the condition in which a birefringent particle appears dark when viewed between crossed polarizers
Down
- 1. a type of microscope equipped with a high energy light source (usually a xenon or mercury vapor lamp) and a set of excitation and barrier filters, used to induce and observe fluorescence in fibers and other particles or materials
- 2. a filter used in fluorescence microscopy that transmits specific bands or wavelengths of energy capable of inducing visible fluorescence in various substrates
- 6. a characteristic of an object in which the refractive index differs depending on the direction of propagation or vibration of light through the object
- 8. the ratio of the velocity of light in a vacuum to the velocity of light in some medium
