We spent a sunny afternoon exploring Wollaston and chatting with the locals in the village square.

To measure the polarization state of the laser, the lab used a Wollaston prism to split the beam into two orthogonal linear polarizations for analysis.

Before the demonstration, the lecturer polished Wollaston's doublet to ensure a clear image for the students.

The spectrometer clearly resolved Wollaston's doublets in the laboratory spectrum, confirming the fine structure of the emission lines.

To separate the polarized components of the beam, the lab used two Wollaston prisms aligned at orthogonal angles.

The geologist identified wollastonite veins in the contact-metamorphosed limestone.

The wollastonitic skarn formed at the contact between limestone and an intrusive magma, producing fine needle-like crystals under the microscope.

The geologist collected several wollastonites from the metamorphic outcrop for analysis.
