Popis: A method is presented which to a large extent eliminates the errors of observation of the optic axial angle by the Michel-Levy method. Instead of standardizing circles of reference, observations on a mineral of known 2E are made directly through the interference figure of the unknown. The method is accurate to within a degree if the known mineral and the lines on the micrometer ocular are placed exactly in the 45° position.
