Abstrakt: Conclusion: The sensitivity of the developed prototype model of CPM is not very high which prevents structures of low anisotropy (thin films, optic fibers, semiconductors, etc.) from being accessible for study. Nevertheless, the developed microscope can be useful for studying biological and biomedical objects, which usually have high anisotropy. The major advantage of the CPM relative to a common polarizing microscope is its transition from purely qualitative (in terms of image brightness in crossed polarization filters) to more accurate quantitative evaluation of the anisotropy of the object of interest [5]. Therefore, the developed prototype model of CPM can give additional information on anisotropic histological and cytological preparations. this may be important for early diagnosis of myocardial damage and studies of nerve fibers and other structures [3].
