A N P Fig. 488. cidence. On rotating the analyzer 90° the cross appearswhite, and the colors change to their complementary value. The analogous but more complicated phenomena presentedby biaxial crystals are shown in Fig. 489. The succession … Fig. 489. of forms illustrates the changes which occur as the crystalsection is rotated 45° between the crossed polarizer andanalyzer. The appearance of these figures is so varied andcharacteristic as to furnish, in practically all cases, a satis-factory means of identifying any doubly refracting…
