Technical requirements for CIP
Computer-integrated polarization microscopy (CIP)
The aim of Computer-integrated polarization microscopy (CIP) is to
generate c-axis orientation and misorientation images from thin
sections. The method has been described (Panozzo Heilbronner &
Pauli, 1993 & 1994) and applications have been published (Pauli
et al., 1996, Herwegh et al., 1997, VanDaalen et al., in press).
- 1 polarization microscope equipped with Kreuztisch, linear
analyzer and polarizer, lambda plate, and 2 lambda/4 plates (for
circular polarization), e.g., Zeiss Axioplan
- 1 tilt stage (optional, but makes life much easier), e.g.,
University Basel Geo-Workshop
- 1 digital scanner camera, monochromatic, infrared sensitive,
e.g., Canon EOS DCS 3 ir
- 1 VMS workstation, e.g., Dec Alpha
- 1 graphic workstation with sufficient memory (128 MB), e.g.,
Power Macintosh 8600
