(lower polarizer) -- a polarizing prism located beneath the microscope stage (between the light source and the object of study). This restricts transmission of light to that vibrating in only one (NS) direction. Some microscopes have a different orientation direction. In effect, it plane polarizes the incident light beam.

| polarize |
1) The position of a device upon the field of a flag, or the position of the flag itself. See Horizontal Polarization and Vertical Polarization. 2) To confine transverse electromagnetic waves to a definite pattern, thus cutting down their intensity while still allowing light to fall on an object. Glass that has been polarized is used in museum displays to reduce the amount of infrared (qv), visible, and ultraviolet (qv) light falling on an artifact. ...
