SYNOPSIS The paper describes an apparatus for rotating a small crystal about a single axis while it is immersed in a liquid of known refractive index, for use with the polarizing microscope. An auxiliary apparatus for mounting the crystal in a desired orientation with reference to the axis of rotation is also described.
