Abstract

Summary A simple photoelectric method has been described for the analysis of birefringence in light-scattering biological objects. The sensitivity and range of the method can be varied at the discretion of the investigator. Under the conditions reported here the smallest detectable retardation was about 10−4 radian (0.1 A). Birefringence fluctuations with a period of the order of 1 sec could easily be analyzed.
