Maltese cross (optics)

polymer physics Polymer physics is the field of physics that studies polymers, their fluctuations, mechanical properties, as well as the kinetics of reactions involving degradation of polymers and polymerisation of monomers.P. Flory, ''Principles of Polymer Che ...

, Maltese Cross is a set of four symmetrically disposed sectors of high extinction that is displayed when a polymer is observed under polarized lights. This is usually observed when trying to observe spheruliltes in polymers. Polymer physics {{polymer-stub
