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

A)Maximum intensity shift interference fringes
B)Complete compensation cancels retardation
C)Isotropic behavior masks true birefringence
D)Chromatic dispersion dominates signal output

💡 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.
