Figure 1.6.4.14
(a) Drawing of biaxial optic axis figures set in the 45° position with the optic axial plane set NW–SE. 2V, represented by the angle O1–O2, is about 40° (cf. total field of view of ca 60°). The distribution of coloured fringes is represented, with near-circular areas of first-order colours around the optic axes, progressing outwards to higher orders (see also Fig. 1.6.4.15a). (b) The same figure in the straight position (optic axial plane N–S). Note that the isogyre along the optic axial plane is sharper than the E–W isogyre. (c) Representation of a biaxial figure in the 45° position when °. The isogyres leave the field completely. |
