Re: New microscope for DIC brightfield and darkfield imaging

Well, I don't know exactly the difference in microscopy,

determining the exposure time with linear polarization filters. This
is eliminated with circular ones, at the cost of some effect.
But, as I mentioned, I cannot say this exactly for microscopes.


Is this true? I had thought that the circular polarizing filters (in photography) were necessary to avoid problems with the automatic focus feature. Since I only use manual focus cameras, this has never been an issue for me.

Anyone know this answer for "sure"? Wikipedia didn't help in a quick session.
