That which polarizes; especially, the part of a polariscope which receives and polarizes the light. It is usually a reflecting plate, or a plate of some crystal, as tourmaline, or a doubly refracting crystal.
is a type of filter which reduces glare by intercepting reflected light from surfaces like water , glass. etc.
a device that permits light of only one polarization to pass through.
transparent material which can absorb all vibrations of light passing through it except those in a single plane.
A polarizing element which is placed below the preparation with its vibration direction preferably set in an E-W direction.
Setting used to diffuse light and is primarily used for taking pictures outside.
Is a light filter used in an LCD projection system. LCD blocks polarized light which the polarizer filters so that it will work.
This filter eliminates light reflected from glass, water, and other surfaces, thereby minimizing unwanted visual glare affects from glass and other non-metallic surfaces.
A filter used to reduce glare by intercepting reflected light from surfaces like water, glass, etc
a device that filters out or blocks all vibration s , except those desired, which in the ideal case may be only a single vibration
a filter that blocks certain angles of wave roll
a filter that reduces glare and unwanted reflections
a filter that restricts the vibration of light into a
a gel filter with millions of microscopic pigment lines in it
a material that allows only light with a specific angle of vibration to pass through
a round filter that screws into the filter threads on the end of the lens
a sheet of special plastic that transmits light with a given polarization direction and absorbs all light with different polarization directions
a two-piece, variable-control filter that works by selectively transmitting or blocking list waves depending on their direction of vibration
An extremely thin stretched polymer that transmits light along one axis. Normally a TN display has polarizers on both the front and back glass surfaces.
Filter to eliminate distracting reflections.
A lens filter which polarizes the light coming into the lens. Can be used to increase saturation and to eliminate reflections in glass or water.
An anisotropic optical device that receives random light and transmits linearly polarized light. In DIC microscopy, polarizers are often fabricated from sheets of oriented dichroic molecules (Polaroid filters) or from slabs of birefringent crystalline materials.
A stretched polymer which transmits light in only one axis. A typical display has polarizers on the front and back.
A light filter which only allows light waves of a certain rotation through. Polarized material with perpendicular filtering is used in LCDs to enclose the liquid crystal. The liquid crystal is then used as the medium which twists the light waves 90° in order to allow the light to pass through or not.
A sheet, containing oriented particles, that transmits light that vibrates in only one direction.
An optical device that converts natural or unpolarized light into polarized light by selective absorption of rays in one direction, and passing of rays perpendicular to the polarizing medium.
A polarizer is a device that converts an unpolarized or mixed-polarization beam of electromagnetic waves (e.g., light) into a beam with a single polarization state (usually, a single linear polarization). Polarizers are used in many optical techniques and instruments, and polarizing filters find applications in photography and liquid crystal display technology.
