Polarized light microscopy

Polarized light microscopy is an auxiliary examination method used to check whether the urethral function is normal. A polarizer and a polarizer are inserted into the optical system of the optical microscope to check the anisotropy and birefringence of the sample. Both the polarizer and the polarizer are made of a nicol prism of a polarizing prism or a polarizing plate. The former is installed between the light source and the sample, and the latter is installed between or above the objective lens and eyepiece. Polarized light microscope technology can detect the "culprit" of gout-urate crystals. Through this examination, the corresponding symptoms can be judged.
