The modified Herzog test performed on cotton. Cotton is not a bast fibre with well-defined fibrillar orientation hence it will normally not be possible to bring it to extinction and it will show a rapid colour change along the fibre, regardless of the orientation angle. In some cases it may appear as if there is no colour change at all with orientation angle.
