Summary

It is possible to determine the directions of the optic axes of a biaxial crystal mounted on a spindle stage—and hence the angle 2V and the directions of α, β, γ—from only four measured extinction positions. The method is a generalization of the one proposed by Tocher (1962); but in the present procedure it is not necessary to determine first the optic axial plane.
