Which symptom arises when anisotropic material stresses hinder polarized light microscopy?

A)Birefringence colors appear misaligned
B)Resolution increases beyond Rayleigh limit
C)Fluorescence quenching becomes intensified
D)Raman scattering peaks lose stability

💡 Explanation

Anisotropic stresses cause stress-induced birefringence, which alters polarization. Because incident polarized light splits into two rays that experience shifting refractive indices dependent on orientation, therefore colors misalign, rather than an increase resolution.
