摘要：
By means of a polarizing microscope, the geometrical properties of focal conics in the chiral smectic C phase were investigated. In homogeneously aligned cells, it is confirmed that focal conics coincide with ellipses drawn precisely by an instrument, but small deviations are found in the eccentricity of the observed ellipses.
