birefringence

Converse of object

• induce: In this experiment we investigate photoelasticity, the phenomenon of inducing birefringence in a substance through the application of a stress system.
• exhibit: Bone in packing and floor materials derived from natural sediments is often uncharred and exhibits pale birefringence and signs of weathering.
• show: Figure 4. Synovial fluid CPPD crystals ( compensated polarized light microscopy x400 ); scant numbers of rhomboid crystals showing weak positive birefringence.
• include: Techniques For Plastics Current methods for detecting residual stress in plastic moldings include birefringence, layer removal, hole drilling and chemical probe techniques.

Adjective modifier

• optical: The self-alignment of crystallites manifests itself as patterns of optical birefringence when the liquids are viewed between crossed polars.
• positive: Figure 2. Evolution of positive birefringence in the maturing Drosophila larva.
• corneal: However, it is anticipated that improved compensation for corneal birefringence will result in an improved discriminating ability.
• weak: Figure 4. Synovial fluid CPPD crystals ( compensated polarized light microscopy x400 ); scant numbers of rhomboid crystals showing weak positive birefringence.

Modifies a noun

• pattern: The image shows quantified total stress contours superimposed on stress birefringence pattern developed during the coextrusion flow of LDPE melts.
• fringe: The cylindrical lenses were tested by measuring the birefringence fringes of the liquid crystal.
