生物液晶中马尔它十字成因初探

Preliminary Researches for the Causes of Maltese-Cross Formed in Biological Liquid Crystals

本文对生物液晶中马尔它十字的成因作了研究,作者认为:马尔它十字是通过生物液晶的线偏振光的干涉图样。由于生物液晶的光轴方向有随意性,故在正交偏光显微镜下观察时,将看到不同的干涉图样,呈现为不同形状的马尔它十字。

We studied the causes of Maltese-cross formed in biological liquid crystals. We conidered that the Maltese-cross is a kind of interfernce pattern of polarized light which passed through the biological liquid crystal. We had observed different interfernce patterns which were differ- ent shapes of Maltese-cross, under a convergent, perpendicular, polarized light micro- scope because the light-axis direction in biological liquid crystals is at pleasure.
