A Method for High-Power Stereoscopic Microscopy

W. GALBRAITH 1

1 Cytological Laboratory, Department of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy, Oxford

An expanded account is given of a simple modification to an ordinary beam-splitting microscope, which renders it stereoscopic. The full aperture of the objective is used, so the method is applicable to all powers of the microscope. The method involves dividing the lower focal plane of the condenser into left and right halves with opposite polarization by means of Polaroid, and isolating the two resulting beams in the eyepieces with Polaroid analysers.

This system, first published by Jackson(1944-9), gives excellent results with the highest powers of the microscope, but appears to have been forgotten. this paper is written in the hope of re-introducing it.
