Jd. Ding et al., DEPTH-INDUCED LIGHT EXTINCTION AND COMPEN SATION MECHANISM IN POLYMERSPHERULITES UNDER A POLARIZING OPTICAL MICROSCOPE, Gaodeng xuexiao huaxue xuebao, 17(2), 1996, pp. 306-310
This paper investigates extinction mechanisms about polarized optical
microscopy (POM), which are classified into isotropic extinction, pseu
do-isotropic extinction, general anisotropic extinction and depth-indu
ced light extinction (DILE). Emphasis is made on the analysis of DILE
and of the compensation mechanism especially, With this method, the hu
lk spherulite of poly(ethylene oxide) is studied and the anisotropic f
actor is measured.
