Haidinger's brush - Wikipedia
Haidinger's brush, more commonly known as Haidinger's brushes is an image produced by the eye, an entoptic phenomenon, first described by Austrian physicist Wilhelm Karl von Haidinger in 1844. Haidinger saw it when he looked through various minerals that polarized light.
Haidinger Brush Phenomenon - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf
2023年7月8日 · The Haidinger brush phenomenon, also known as Haidinger brushes, is a distinctive and intriguing visual phenomenon that allows humans to perceive the polarization of light. This entoptic phenomenon is named after Austrian scientist Wilhelm Karl von Haidinger, who first reported the phenomenon in 1844.
The wonder of Haidinger’s Brush - Astronomy Magazine
2020年10月14日 · Haidinger’s Brush — a subtle Maltese cross of light, with one arm appearing yellow and the other blue like a robin’s egg — is a unique visual phenomenon accessible to the human eye.
Polarised light and the super sense you didn’t know you had
2015年6月30日 · Humans perceive polarised light using “Haidinger’s brushes”, a subtle visual effect which appears like a yellow bow-tie at right angles to the polarisation angle. You may also see a bluish...
An Explanation of Haidinger's Brushes - JAMA Network
The first to observe that the polarization of light is visible without auxiliary means was the mineralogist W. von Haidinger 2 (1844). He described as Lichtpolarisations-büschel the phenomenon which was later to become known as Haidinger's brushes.
Haidinger's brush: the unknown sense - polarization
That stain is now known as the Haidinger's brush, and he can be credited with the unique discovery of an extra "sense". However, more that a century and a half later, this phenomenon remains little known (even by scientists working in optics!).

flat and polished so that it is quite shiny electrons follow the oscillations of the brush when directly viewing a clear, and relatively scratch-free. A micro- optical field. After being driven into haze-free sky, since light from the sky is scope slide is suitable.
A recent explanation of Haidinger's brushes and their clinical use
The entopic phenomenon called "Haidinger's brushes" (HB) is used both as a diagnostic testing procedure and as a feedback mechanism in visual training. A recent explanation of HB incorporating corneal birefringence is presented.
Haidinger’s brushes: Psychophysical analysis of an entoptic …
2022年10月1日 · In this work, we develop and test a compact and versatile new optical setup which allows the user to perceive the formation of Haidinger’s brushes and perform psychophysical tests to quantify his/her sensitivity to the polarization degree of the incoming light.
Perception of Haidinger Brushes in Macular Disease Depends on …
Haidinger brush visibility was tested with a rotating linear polarizer and a controllable three-color light-emitting diode (LED) panel as light source. A simple model of macular pigment absorption was used to predict HB visibility as a function of stimulus wavelength and MPOD.
