论文摘要
1844年，奥地利矿物学家威廉·冯·海丁（Wilhelm von Haidinger）报告说，他可以用肉眼看到光的两极分化。它看起来像是一种微弱的，模糊的，瞬态的，黄色的沙漏形状，叠加在人们看的任何东西上。现在通常称为Haidinger的刷子。令我们惊讶的是，即使引用了这篇论文，我们也无法从其艰难的，十九世纪的德语转化为英语。我们提供一个注释，将论文置于其科学和历史背景中。
In 1844, the Austrian mineralogist Wilhelm von Haidinger reported he could see the polarization of light with the naked eye. It appears as a faint, blurry, transient, yellow hourglass shape superimposed on whatever one looks at. It is now commonly called Haidinger's brushes. To our surprise, even though the paper is well cited, we were unable to find a translation of it from its difficult, nineteenth-century German into English. We provide one, with annotations to set the paper into its scientific and historical context.
