Transmission polarized light measurements with the Keyence

Transmission crossed-polarized light measurements now easy with our Keyence digital microscope

In addition to the reflected light polarizer, our Keyence digital microscope now has a fully rotatable polarizer/ analyzer setup for transmitted light microscopy. Thanks to several OU faculty, the OU Center for Quantum Research and Technology, OptoKhemia Analytical, and particularly the Furis research group for making this possible.
