This paper presents a simplified data acquisition and analysis technique for use in determining the main refractive indices and thickness of a uniaxial anisotropic layer cut out parallel to the optical axis, by processing the conoscopic interference figures obtained using a polarizing microscope equipped with a CCD camera. For negative uniaxial crystals, the equations used permit the calculation of the optical sign of the studied material so it is not necessary to insert a quartz wedge into the conoscopic beam. The technique can also be applied to the study of liquid crystal layers in a planar orientation.

Crystal Model

Brewster angle reflections from oxidized cholesterol membranes are described in terms of uniaxial crystal model. The refractive indices perpendicular and parallel to the membrane are 1.515 and 1.555, respectively. A multilayer model was also considered; however, under the approximations used, both models are equivalent and cannot be distinguished. Egg albumin and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide altered the refractive indices while 2,4-dinitrophenol and valinomycin addition did not produce a detectable change.

Microscope Stage

A single, reasonably homogeneous, nonopaque 30-to-300 μm crystal, mounted on a spindle stage and studied by immersion methods under a polarizing microscope, yields optical data frequently sufficient to identify and characterize a substance unequivocally. The data obtainable include (1) the orientation of the crystal's principal vibration axes and (2) its principal refractive indices, to within 0.0002 if desired, for light vibrating along these principal vibration axes. Spindle stages tend to be simple and relatively inexpensive, some costing less than $50. They permit rotation of the crystal about a single axis which is parallel to the microscope stage. This spindle or S-axis is thus perpendicular to the M-axis, namely the microscope stage's axis of rotation.A spindle stage excels when studying anisotropic crystals. It orients uniaxial crystals within minutes and biaxial crystals almost as quickly so that their principal refractive indices - ɛ and ω (uniaxial); α, β and γ (biaxial) - can be determined without significant error from crystal misorientation.

Lower Refractive Index

An excellent chapter on this subject by V.D. Fréchette appeared in a book edited by L.L. Hench and R.W. Gould in 1971 (1). That chapter with the references cited there provides a very complete coverage of the subject. I will add a more complete coverage of an important polarized light microscope (PLM) technique developed more recently (2). Dispersion staining is based on refractive index and its variation with wavelength (dispersion of index). A particle of, say almandite, a garnet, has refractive indices of nF = 1.789 nm, nD = 1.780 nm and nC = 1.775 nm. A Cargille refractive index liquid having nD = 1.780 nm will have nF = 1.810 and nC = 1.768 nm. Almandite grains will disappear in that liquid when observed with a beam of 589 nm light (D-line), but it will have a lower refractive index than that liquid with 486 nm light (F-line), and a higher index than that liquid with 656 nm light (C-line).
