Polarized light microscopy refers to a variety of techniques involving polarized light (e.g. illumination of the sample with polarized light). | |||
These illumination techniques are most commonly used on birefringent or transparent samples where the polarized light interacts strongly with the sample, generating contrast with the background. Polarized light microscopy is used extensively in optical mineralogy. | |||
