Abstract :
We have represented computer simulations of conoscopic patterns for uniaxial gyrotropic crystals in the vicinity of isotropic point for several sets of the crystal parameters and orientations. The appearance of special directions, which are characterised by equalization of linear and circular birefringence, has been revealed
