Centrifuge Polarizing Microscope with Dual Specimen Chambers and Injection Ports

Knudson et al describe a centrifuge polarizing microscope with dual specimen chambers and injection ports that is designed for observing the weak birefringence of organelles and fine structures in living cells as they become stratified and oriented under centrifugal fields of up to 10,500 times Eart...

Description
Summary:Knudson et al describe a centrifuge polarizing microscope with dual specimen chambers and injection ports that is designed for observing the weak birefringence of organelles and fine structures in living cells as they become stratified and oriented under centrifugal fields of up to 10,500 times Earth's gravitational field.
