Summary

New generalized extinction curves, derived from wave-normals located on a circular cone, are presented. They may be used with the universal stage for the accurate location of up to all three of the indicatrix axes, α, β, γ, of any biaxial crystal, or the optic axis of any uniaxial crystal.
