Is there any reason why the Nicol prism is so much more complicated than the Glan-Air or Glan-Thompson prism? It is easier to manufacture? Does it have wider viewing angle? 10:08, 28 December 2005 Arnero
- I once read a book about making crystals as a hobby, that told its readers how to make a sodium nitrate crystal and how to make that into a Nicol prism! It works; but they are fragile and soluble. Anthony Appleyard 12:03, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
