Levulose :: Levulose (n.) A sirupy variety of sugar, rarely obtained crystallized, occurring widely in honey, ripe fruits, etc., and hence called also fruit sugar. It is called levulose, because it rotates the plane of polarization to the left..

Bipolarity :: Bipolarity (n.) Bipolar quality.

Inactive :: Inactive (a.) Not active; inert; esp., not exhibiting any action or activity on polarized light; optically neutral; -- said of isomeric forms of certain substances, in distinction from other forms which are optically active; as, racemic acid is an inactive tartaric acid..

Analyzer :: Analyzer (n.) The part of a polariscope which receives the light after polarization, and exhibits its properties..

Inherent :: Inherent (a.) Permanently existing in something; inseparably attached or connected; naturally pertaining to; innate; inalienable; as, polarity is an inherent quality of the magnet; the inherent right of men to life, liberty, and protection..

Apsis :: Apsis (n.) In a curve referred to polar coordinates, any point for which the radius vector is a maximum or minimum..

Idiophanous :: Idiophanous (a.) Exhibiting interference figures without the aid of a polariscope, as certain crystals..

Dextro- :: Dextro- () having the property of turning the plane of polarized light to the right; as, dextrotartaric acid..

Herapathite :: Herapathite (n.) The sulphate of iodoquinine, a substance crystallizing in thin plates remarkable for their effects in polarizing light..

Bipolar :: Bipolar (a.) Doubly polar; having two poles; as, a bipolar cell or corpuscle..

Polariscopy :: Polariscopy (n.) The art or rocess of making observations with the polariscope.

Impolarily :: Impolarily (adv.) Alt. of Impolarl.

Rotatory :: Rotatory (a.) Producing rotation of the plane of polarization; as, the rotatory power of bodies on light. See the Note under polarization..

Isotropy :: Isotropy (n.) Uniformity of physical properties in all directions in a body; absence of all kinds of polarity; specifically, equal elasticity in all directions..

Polarity :: Polarity (n.) A property of the conic sections by virtue of which a given point determines a corresponding right line and a given right line determines a corresponding point. See Polar, n..

Dextrose :: Dextrose (n.) A sirupy, or white crystalline, variety of sugar, C6H12O6 (so called from turning the plane of polarization to the right), occurring in many ripe fruits. Dextrose and levulose are obtained by the inversion of cane sugar or sucrose, and hence called invert sugar. Dextrose is chiefly obtained by the action of heat and acids on starch, and hence called also starch sugar. It is also formed from starchy food by the action of the amylolytic ferments of saliva and pancreatic juice..

Polestar :: Polestar (n.) Polaris, or the north star. See North star, under North..

Pole :: Pole (n.) See Polarity, and Polar, n..

Solenoid :: Solenoid (n.) An electrodynamic spiral having the conjuctive wire turned back along its axis, so as to neutralize that component of the effect of the current which is due to the length of the spiral, and reduce the whole effect to that of a series of equal and parallel circular currents. When traversed by a current the solenoid exhibits polarity and attraction or repulsion, like a magnet..

Bibliopolar :: Bibliopolar (a.) Of or pertaining to the sale of books.
