Polarization Peculiarities - Having Fun with ShinyaVision Troubleshooting

- Polarization is a truly awesome property of light that can be manipulated and applied in so many ways! Most light we experience isn't too strongly polarized so we generally don't have a good intuition for it. A couple sheets of inexpensive polarizing film are all you need to start developing your polarization intuition. Today's we're just dipping our toes in, but we'll explore polarization in much more depth in the future!

Hi, here the guy who was playing with the phone polarisation sheets. You perfectly demonstrated and explained what my issue was. It makes the process a little more complicated. I managed to solve it and must admit : the 3d effect is amazing!
This is so great to hear - I think you're the first one to confirm with me that they've done it! And thanks for posting about your troubles, I'll fold the insights into the PDF as well :)
Can you tell me what scope you're using?
@@diettoms I'm using an Amscope t490b. I explained a little bit more on the microbehunter forum. I think this mod is really impressive. Thanks again.
@@marceldix480 Awesome, thanks! Glad to hear you got it working on a 490 since it's a little trickier on the folding heads. By the way, one thing to try - rotate the objective another half turn from wherever you have it and swap the eyepieces. You may find that one orientation is substantially brighter than the other :)
Very informative and effective demonstration! Thanks Jason.
Some day we'll talk about polarization using big words like "optically active" and "birefringent" and so forth, but for now you can start developing your practical intuition for polarization by messing around with the polarizers you picked up to do the ShinyaVision mod. It's a ton of fun for kids aged 8-80 :) One thing I didn't do here was turn the second polarizer in line with the first - you'd see interesting stuff there too so try it out yourself! I'll release a quick tip on setting up a polarization microscope soon!
Looking forward to trying to play with this more!
Nice intro, editing, and video presentation.
Thanks!
I miss Diet Tom
Me too.
I am interested in seeing more of his setup, or maybe some new illumination techniques or guides.
So painful to watch, you made a 7min video a 14min video with the err uhmmm arrrs and the slow droning
Haha, you're right honestly, it's an issue - it's pretty difficult to speak off the cuff! Usually I write a script and cut together the VO but this was a one-take. I've only been doing videos for a few months so give me some time!
Do you have a microscope? I recommend people get one!
@@diettoms I'm glad you took my comments positively. Yeah I have a very cheap usb microscope off amazon that works surprisingly well. Only £20
@@Creomortis Feel free to let me know if you like anything in particular too :)
You might try getting some polarizing film like this, crossing two sheets, and putting objects between them to view with your handheld scope. Sand grains will often look pretty neat. You can use a white image on your phone screen to provide a flat, even backlight - just be aware that the light may already be polarized depending on the display technology used. Even a microscope slide sandwiched like this might work pretty well for viewing live organisms with polarized light.
I completely disagree, I like the casual vibe of the video and the uhhs are not bothering me at all, there aren't more than in normal speech. The video as a whole is very well produced, especially for a channel with less than 1000 subs.
@@sjwimmel I've watched a lot of videos. I think I was a bit harsh in my initial comment but the root of it was trying to get him to improve the way he films. The content itself was interesting.
