Which consequence results when birefringent material exceeds thickness limits during polarized light microscopy?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding thickness causes multiple-order retardation, leading to complex interference fringes because the phase difference becomes a multiple of the wavelength; therefore, fringes shift maximally, rather than exhibiting compensation or masking which occur at specific thicknesses.
