Polarimeter

And the only difference between the two drugs as far as detection goes is that, when viewed through an optical rotatory device called a polarimeter, dextromethorphan rotates light to the right, and levomethorphan rotates light to the left. ❋ Patricia Cornwell (1991)

_ -- For this purpose a special instrument, known as a polarimeter, is required, details of the construction and use of which would be out of place here. ❋ H. A. Appleton (N/A)

When that is done I place the extract into the polarimeter, which looks very much like a telescope. ❋ Patricia Cornwell (1991)

The labs in my building did not have a polarimeter or any way to test for levomethorphan. ❋ Patricia Cornwell (1991)

The name originates from a prior study by Biot and Persoz who used the polarimeter designed by the former and established that the solution of cane sugar which rotates the polarization plane of light to the right, rotates it to the left on the addition of a dilute acid. ❋ Unknown (1966)

So they used a polarimeter to mimic the possible effect of a supposed "sunstone" crystal, but the article doesn't detail exactly what sort of crystal that might be. ❋ Unknown (2011)

Further research will test whether the actual crystals from Scandinavia and Iceland work as well as the sensitive polarimeter. feldspar, which when viewed from certain directions exhibits a gemstone. ❋ Unknown (2011)

For a "sunstone" they used a polarimeter, a device that measures polarization. ❋ Unknown (2011)

Using a polarimeter, he measured the polarised light bouncing off these models and showed that the stronger those reflections, the more flies became stuck to them. ❋ Unknown (2010)

For instance, the group behind the polarimeter on Glory were trying to find space on a suitable satellite for years before the Glory mission was resurrected. ❋ Unknown (2009)

This is a big deal because Glory will carry one new instrument (an aerosol polarimeter) that has the unique ability (among sensors flying today) to distinguish between aerosol types in the atmosphere. ❋ Unknown (2009)

A polarimeter detects the changes in polarisation associated with the aerosols which differs greatly between the different types. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The new sensors are prototypes for NIST polarimeter arrays that will greatly increase the sensitivity of future experiments by building thousands of detectors into monolithic units that can be deployed in cryogenic telescope cameras. ❋ Unknown (2009)
