an apparatus is described for measuring the linear birefringence and linear dichroism induced in liquids or dispersions by an applied magnetic field. the apparatus uses a vibrating beam phase modulator and conventional optical and electro-optical components. it is capable of measuring $delta$ n $prime$ (the real part of the complex birefringence $delta$ n) down to about 10** $minus$ **1**2 and $delta$ n $double prime$ (the imaginary part of $delta$ n) down to about 10** $minus$ **1**0. results are given for liquids of very small cotton-mouton constant, hitherto unmeasurable, and very dilute colloidal dispersions. dust removal from sample liquids is shown to be of major importance for weakly birefringent or dichroic samples. 9 refs
