CALCITE DICHROSCOPE
Dichroscope is a metal tube which is open on one end and has a lens at the other.
APPLICATIONS
Dichroscope has an optical calcite mounted inside the tube and produces a double image of the square opening. Enough bright light is directed on a gemstone and viewed through the dichroscope.
Dichroscope separates the different colors of light into its constituent colors. Light entering the dichroscope is broken into two polarized rays. Two images of different colors indicate that the vibrations are of different wavelengths and at right angels to each other. If dichroism is not detected in the first test, the gemstone has to turned and output colors must be viewed in other directions too.
