Figure 3
Stereographic representation of the optical indicatrix for a biaxial sample representing the two permitted vibration directions corresponding to the direction of propagation S′ and determined using the Biot–Fresnel construction. The dashed lines marked and are traces of the two perpendicular tilt axes of the tilting stage. The orientation angle corresponds to the direction of propagation S′ and represents the angle between the tilt axis and one of the axes of the relevant section of the optical indicatrix. |
