The refractive indices, birefringence, and cross‐sectional area of cotton fibers was measured using interference polarizing microscope constructed by M. Pluta. A new technique was suggested by realizing the measurements at the perpendicular position of the duplicated image of fiber to the interference fringe. The proposed procedure is a combination of modification of Hamza method and Pluta dual wavelength method, and it was possible to measure at once the three mentioned features of single fiber at one time.
