Hello everybody,
I would like to put a quarter wave plate in my microscope (between two
crossed polarizers).
In every book i saw so far, the plate was just before the upper
polarizer, and after the specimen.
my question is - can i put the plate before the specimen?
so the path will be : light source, polarizer, plate, specimen,
polarizer.
note: my specimen is birefringence object.
the way i see it, phase differences are added together, so is there a
problem?
Thanks!
Hanan.
