In anisotropic crystal imaging, which limitation occurs with thick sections?

💡 Explanation

When light travels through thick anisotropic crystals, multiple retardations cause polarization rotations that change measured birefringence because the polarization direction shifts repeatedly; therefore, the apparent birefringence is scrambled, rather than remaining proportional. Chromatic and spherical aberrations are related to lenses, rather than polarization effects.
